The National Recreation and Park Association

2019 PREMIER MEMBER CALENDAR



Our Three Pillars

The National Recreation and Park Association is the nation's leading non-profit working to assure that everyone has access to a great park. Since 1965, NRPA has raised awareness of the role parks and

recreation plays in enhancing communities. A key part of that is providing our over 60,000 members with the tools and resources to make this happen through our three guiding pillars:

SOCIAL EQUITY

All people should have access to programs, facilities, places and spaces that make their lives and communities great.

HEALTH AND WELLNESS

Parks and recreation improve the health of communities by increasing access to physical activity opportunities and improving

access to healthy foods.

CONSERVATION

Parks and recreation create sustainable and resilient communities, protect natural resources and open space, and connect people to

the benefits of nature and the outdoors.
