Questions for which we have the opportunity to provide
answers include: What role will parks and recreation play
in reducing carbon footprints? How will parks and trails
become part of planning safe, walkable, bikeable transportation routes that calm high-speed vehicle traffic and
enable children and families to safely get to schools, recreation centers and other daily destinations? What will we
do to serve aging-in-place populations? How will we enable the benefits of green infrastructure in using parklands
and urban forests for stormwater management, groundwater recharge and buffers against climate change?
With this objective in mind, we have recently had several
productive discussions with the American Planning Association (APA) and the American Society of Landscape
Architects (ASLA) about forging a richer partnership
between planners, landscape architects, and park and
recreation professionals. One potential outcome of our
discussions is a planned summit that would focus on how
we can collectively meet the challenges of the metropolitan revolution and produce true returns on public and
private investments.

NRPA'S MISSION: To advance parks, recreation
and environmental conservation efforts that
enhance the quality of life for all people.

Innovation must be part of our vision for the future of
parks and recreation as much as it is for the new economic systems that are enabling metropolitan revolutions
across America. This is an exciting time for parks and
recreation. Innovators will thrive, and we intend to be at
the forefront.
