National Legislative Forum on Parks and Recreation

March 16, 2010 - March 19, 2010
Washington, D.C.

The premier parks and recreation advocacy event.

NRPA's National Legislative Forum on Parks and Recreation provides a unique opportunity to inform our nation's leaders about the essential services provided by park and recreation agencies.

With a new administration and a new Congress promising to address everything from energy and climate change to the surface transportation reauthorization and healthcare reform, the opportunities to advance our legislative agenda are immense!

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.

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.
