Values

The National Recreation and Park Association believes parks and recreation are used to improve a person’s potential by providing them with facilities, services, and programs that meet the emotional, social, and physical needs of a community. The NRPA values the environment by offering environmental educational programs, and striving for ecologically responsible management. The NRPA not only values the community, but it takes a special interest in every individual it affects. It attempts to elevate the quality of life for all citizens of a community by endorsing individual and community wellness. It partners up with many other respected organizations to provide a community with access to healthcare, cultural understanding, and economic aid.
