70 Acts of Service

As we celebrate 70 years of parks, programs, and community impact, North Highlands Recreation & Park District (NHRPD) is marking this milestone with a year-long initiative focused on giving back: 70 Acts of Service.

This campaign is our way of saying thank you to the community that has supported us since 1955 — by continuing to invest in what makes North Highlands a great place to live, work, and play.

NHRPD will lead extra activities and service projects throughout the year to uplift our parks and neighborhoods — and we invite community members and local businesses to join in! Whether it’s picking up litter, helping a neighbor, supporting a nonprofit, or volunteering your time, every good deed counts.

Email your act of service to recreation@nhrpd.org
