Led by members of NRPA’s Parks for All Network, we are happy to introduce NRPA Quick Guides. These “how to’s” recognize that increasing access and belonging is hard work. It takes time, the approach is rarely the same, and requires us to confront uncomfortable topics and change. If that isn’t enough, the work (and those leading it) may be met by others who don’t understand “why,” don’t yet have full agency support.

Quick Guides are designed for all park and recreation professionals, but especially for those who may have limited capacity and are looking to make tangible, meaningful changes in their communities and places of work. Regardless of role within your agency, we know individuals can make profound positive changes and these guides are crowd-sourced from the field, sharing the lessons and practices of the NRPA community.

The Parks for All Network and Quick Guide Committees are actively engaged in brainstorming and collaborating on the next round of topics, and we are constantly looking to and listening to members on how to make sure our resources are relevant to the field and useful to those of you working on the ground in communities.

If you have topic ideas or are interested in joining the Parks for All Network or leading your own quick guide committee, please email access@nrpa.org.
