What Parks and Recreation Can Do About Access for All
Portland, Oregon August 2016
NRPA and thought leaders from both inside and outside the field gathered recently for an interactive event designed to help us better understand how park design, policy implementation and program development can influence the way communities are served, the differences of the workforce and how Portland has actively and continuously worked to engage community members to create better, more fair outcomes.
What Was Learned:
How cities and agencies across the country are working to address disparities.
How Portland has designed policies and programs to better serve residents.
How park and recreation leaders and residents collaborated on effective community engagement strategies.
