Park and recreation professionals bring life-enriching services to citizens of all ages and abilities, work to keep facilities clean, safe and ready to use, strengthen community cohesion and resiliency, connect people with nature and each other, develop and manage a wide range of public programming, and provide and promote opportunities for healthy living, social equity, and environmental sustainability.
On this episode of “Good Air”, we talk with Tim Herd, CEO of the Pennsylvania Recreation and Park Society (PRPS), and Pam Salokangas, Director of Centre Region Parks & Recreation, about the inspiration behind the first-ever Park & Recreation Professionals Day on July 19.
Park & Recreation Professionals Day is dedicated to honoring the men and women who work tirelessly behind-the-scenes to provide the park and recreation programs and facilities that we enjoy every day.
