The Demings Digest | July 2025
Greetings!
Summer is here, bringing warm weather and longer days. July also marks National Parks and Recreation Month — the perfect time to explore the more than 100 parks throughout Orange County. Our Parks & Recreation Department offers a wide range of amenities, including splash pads, pickleball courts, skate parks, bike trails, playgrounds, and more.
We are also officially in hurricane season, and now is the best time to make sure your family is prepared. I encourage you to review the emergency tips and valuable resources included in this month’s newsletter and visit Orange County’s storm page for more information.
Speaking of extreme weather, it is important to follow heat safety tips and stay cool this summer. Be sure to protect yourself by wearing sunscreen, staying hydrated, scheduling outdoor activities carefully, pacing yourself when exercising or working outdoors, and never leaving children and pets in parked cars.
Later this week, we will celebrate our Independence Day, and there are numerous ways you and your family can celebrate July 4th festivities in our region. Learn more about these celebrations in the events section below, and please remember to put safety first when enjoying fireworks.
Stay safe and have a wonderful July 4th holiday!
Sincerely,
