More About the Report

This year, nearly 200 professionals offered their feedback for our report. These parks and recreation industry leaders come from departments of different sizes located throughout the United States. There was also a large variety of facility types. For example, while most respondents managed facilities with parks and playgrounds, there were others who operated winter sports resorts and pools.

We conducted this report after noticing a growing nationwide focus on advancing parks, recreation, and environmental conservation efforts. Our goal is that this report will offer readers identify best practices and recommendations to improve focus areas like sustainability, safety, and professional development.
