Goals
The goals of the National Recreation and Park Association include improving the mental and physical health of individuals by providing recreation, park, and leisure services that will help individuals in specific communities. It attempts to promote public awareness throughout communities in an effort to educate the population about the benefits of a healthy environment around them. The NRPA wants to provide access to recreation and parks to communities, but not at the cost of destroying the environment and ecology. It helps communities plan the construction of buildings and fields, making sure the environment is not harmed in the process.

Famous quotes containing the word goals:
“If people would forget about utopia! When rationalism destroyed heaven and decided to set it up here on earth, that most terrible of all goals entered human ambition. It was clear there’d be no end to what people would be made to suffer for it.”
—Nadine Gordimer (b. 1923)
“Artists have a double relationship towards nature: they are her master and her slave at the same time. They are her slave in so far as they must work with means of this world so as to be understood; her master in so far as they subject these means to their higher goals and make them subservient to them.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
“We should stop looking to law to provide the final answer.... Law cannot save us from ourselves.... We have to go out and try to accomplish our goals and resolve disagreements by doing what we think is right. That energy and resourcefulness, not millions of legal cubicles, is what was great about America. Let judgment and personal conviction be important again.”
—Philip K. Howard, U.S. lawyer. The Death of Common Sense: How Law Is Suffocating America, pp. 186-87, Random House (1994)
