Episode 4: Why Recreation Matters 💙

In today’s episode, we’re joined by Derek and Josh, whose passion and dedication help shape many of the programs and experiences that bring our community together.

Throughout the interview, we discuss the most rewarding aspects of the job, the impact Parks & Recreation has on the City of Milford, and what keeps them passionate about serving the community year after year.

We also look ahead to the future of Milford Parks & Recreation and why continued growth and investment are so important as our city continues to evolve. As two individuals who will help lead the future of Parks & Recreation programs in Milford, Derek and Josh provide valuable insight into where the department is headed and the lasting impact it hopes to have on generations to come.

Their perspective serves as a reminder that recreation is about much more than games and events, it’s about relationships, memories, and creating opportunities that positively impact the lives of others.

Recreation isn’t just about sports and activities, it’s about community.

Stay tuned as we continue the series throughout the week and hear from the people who help make Milford Parks & Recreation special.
