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:
“Whoever sincerely believes that elevated and distant goals are as little use to man as a cow, that “all of our problems” come from such goals, is left to eat, drink, sleep, or, when he gets sick of that, to run up to a chest and smash his forehead on its corner.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
“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)
“Let us beware of saying there are laws in nature. There are only necessities: there is no one to command, no one to obey, no one to transgress. When you realize there are no goals or objectives, then you realize, too, that there is no chance: for only in a world of objectives does the word “chance” have any meaning.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
