The National Recreation and Park Association and the Urban Institute, in cooperation with the National League of Cities and the National Association of Counties, hosted a Roundtable in the fall of 2011 for an invited group of decision makers from a wide variety of disciplines including health, real estate, tax policy, conservation, urban planning, academia, and others disciplines to examine the critical role that public parks and recreation play in urban and metropolitan infrastructure. One goal of this roundtable was to examine the future viability and sustainability of public funding for parks and recreation. The discussions of the roundtable focused on the fiscal pressures facing cities, counties, and metropolitan areas and the challenges created by demographic, economic, environmental, and social changes.
The results of this roundtable were published, and are available by accessing this report:
