As a former Parks and Recreation professional I can say the episodes I did watch did have some similarities. There are many days I miss the profession, being surrounded by so many peers who are very passionate about their careers. Parks and Recreation professionals provide programs and services for people when they are not working. Thus, typically involves many nights and weekends. Parks and Recreation professionals also where many hats. Marketing, Budgeting, Leadership, and Creative Programming. If you were in facilities you also developed a skill set in understanding Safety, OSHA, Project Management, Janitorial, HVAC, Electrical and unfortunately Plumbing. Hats off to my past professional peers, colleagues, friends. #mnrpa #parksandrecreation #diversity #arenamanagement
Park and recreation professionals often get asked, “Is it like the show?” The show in question is the sitcom Parks and Recreation. Leslie Knope, deputy director of the parks department in fictional Pawnee, Indiana, wants to beautify her town by assisting local nurse Ann Perkins in transforming an abandoned construction site into a communal park. Numerous obstacles impede the progress of what ought to be a rather straightforward project! It’s hilarious, but is it an accurate depiction of working for a park and recreation department in local government? The answer is yes! Well, sort of. Read the full blog post from Rebecca Ortiz, the athletics and rentals coordinator for City of Irving (Texas) Parks and Recreation Department: https://lnkd.in/dypaZfNg #PowerOfParks #WhereYouBelong #ParksAndRec #ParkAndRecMonth2024 #ParkAndRecMonth

#TheTrail - In The Baltimore Sun, Delegate Malcolm P. Ruff, Esq. and Michael Cross-Barnet write, “State parks are more than just beautiful places; they provide recreational, economic and cultural benefits to their host communities. Baltimore City is one of just two jurisdictions in Maryland without the advantages of a state park. But we can change this, elevating both the city and the region, thanks to a special opportunity under Maryland law. Our legislation, House Bill 1358, establishes an innovative state-city partnership for the support and management of Gwynns Falls/Leakin Park, Baltimore’s largest park. With its mature forest, diverse wildlife, scenic trails and historic structures covering more than 1,000 acres, Gwynns Falls/Leakin Park is one of the largest urban forest parks on the East Coast. It should be the envy of other Mid-Atlantic cities. Instead, the park has an unsavory reputation, and most city residents avoid it. It’s well past time for Gwynns Falls/Leakin Park to fulfill its potential as the pride of West Baltimore and a true regional destination. Baltimore has many fine parks, but GFLP is unique. With its large size, diverse topography and proximity to several nearby counties, it already resembles a state park in many ways, making it ideally situated for transformative investment.” #MyWestSide #parksandrecreation https://lnkd.in/gMRa79AW

A Proposed New Park in Auburn, AL – Ann Pearson Park A new park was announced at a recent Auburn City Council meeting. Ann Pearson Park in Auburn will be the first park on the north side of town, and the project is set to move fast! The park is named after Ann Pearson, an Auburn philanthropist and historic preservationist, the park not only honors her in name but also encompasses the Ann Pearson estate. Owned by Auburn University Real Estate Foundation Inc., the 47-acre estate is overseen by the Georgia-Alabama Land Trust. Auburn University Real Estate Foundation, Inc. approached the city and offered the use of the property for a passive park. The Georgia-Alabama Land Trust is the largest regional land trust in the Southeast and has jurisdiction over the property’s conservation easement. According to reports, the Pearson family put the property with the land trust in order to prevent it from being developed. City Manager Megan McGowen Crouch announced that it is under this trust that the passive park project has been approved. Plans for Ann Pearson Park in Auburn have already been developed and received the trust’s stamp of approval. These plans include: Nature playground One-mile gravel trail Nature trail Large open space Exercise stations Disc golf course Picnic areas Hammock pods A 600-square-foot pavilion | A 300-square-foot pavilion Restrooms Under the Georgia-Alabama Land Trust conservation easement, organized ball fields are not allowed. This doesn’t mean families are not allowed to play soccer or throw a ball; it just means there are no athletics in competition format that can take place there. Once open, you can find Ann Pearson Park in Auburn off north Shelton Mill Road, across from the Pearson family home and Noble Hall, which was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. As the population of Auburn continues to expand, so do the projects and opportunities in the town, and Ann Pearson Park is just one of many highly-anticipated community projects.
