How Does the Private Sector View Parks & Rec?

April 6, 2018, Department, by National Recreation and Park Association

Calendar 410

NRPA, in collaboration with the Oklahoma City Parks and Recreation Department, is bringing together leaders inside and outside of parks and recreation to explore how our field impacts regional economic competitiveness and quality of life. We know parks contribute significantly in these areas, but how does the private sector see us, and what tools and funding are out there to help ensure that our park and recreational opportunities continue to drive economic development and attract businesses, talent and visitors? Join us in OKC, May 16–18, for what promises to be an insightful discussion.
