New Kent County Parks and Recreation are participating in the Longest Day of Play on June 20.

Organized by the Virginia Recreation and Parks Society (VPRS), Play All Day VA aims to promote the importance of PLAY for all ages, abilities, and interests through local parks and free or discounted recreational programming.

New Kent Parks and Recreation has scheduled several activities including popsicles in the park, intro to pickleball, Doggy Happy Hour, open gym basketball, and Trail Mix on the Trail. Community members are encouraged to take selfies, enjoy a picnic at Quinton Park, and enjoy the outdoors on the longest day of sunlight on the year.
