NEW HAVEN >> Keep your finger on that hashtag symbol.
There likely are not many of you who are not in the know, but just in case, that symbol is the number sign on a keyboard — and that symbol is now very “in” with the city Department of Parks, Recreation and Trees.
The department launched a new social media campaign Monday that is aimed at getting residents out to enjoy any or all of the parks the city has to offer. The hashtag comes in because the effort includes prizes connected to using the hashtag #newhavenparks on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.
During the campaign, the department will highlight one of the city’s more than 100 parks each day on Facebook, and followers will be asked to identify the park. The person who identifies the most parks will win a bicycle, said Parks Director Rebecca Bombero.
