You work hard to provide the best possible recreation experience for your community. Today’s parks and recreation programs are increasingly sophisticated. Communities offer so much more than a few ball fields and a playground.
Residents want facilities and programs that appeal to all ages and abilities:
- active and passive parks
- trails
- pools and sprinkler pads
- tennis and pickleball courts
- yoga and fitness classes
- nature education
- athletic leagues for youth and adults
Providing this level of service is not easy. It requires a significant level of money and staffing. Many communities don’t have the resources to provide this level of programming on their own, but recreation partnerships bring the impossible into reach.
Partnering with neighboring municipalities, local schools, non-profit organizations, and private businesses can give residents access to a much more diverse array of recreational opportunities. It can also increase the user base for existing programs and facilities.
