Advance the National Agenda for Parks and Recreation   

This is a critical time to be an advocate for parks and recreation. With the upcoming presidential and congressional elections, our voices must be heard. Help us advance national policies that promote health through physical activity, reconnect children with nature and protect open space for recreation.

As advocates, we must educate our national leaders about the importance of parks and recreation in our communities. Encourage community advocates, members of your park authority, park commission and city council to attend.  Make an impact, share our mission and change the course for parks and recreation.  By working together, we can make a difference.
 
The National Legislative Forum on Parks and Recreation is held annually in
conjunction with NRPA’s Mid-Year meeting.

Check out this year's Highlights including featured speakers!



Mid-Year meeting attendees are encouraged to register for the Forum. NRPA leadership play a key role in advancing the park and recreation agenda, and your voices are needed to assist in making a national impact for parks and recreation.
