Whose Park Is It Anyway?

Parks and recreation should provide our communities with equitable access to all resources. However, we often see disparities in activities and programs participated in by people of color. In this session, we examine the history and barriers of outdoor recreation participation in African Americans and discuss ways "recreating" is different for all members of our communities. We will discuss ways we can provide equitable access to all resources, how we are managing relationships with community stakeholders, opportunities to make all feel welcome and rethinking how we are engaging online and offline. Additionally, the session will address user conflict by providing insights and guidance on navigating disagreements between outspoken stakeholders and participants, creating space for those traditionally underserved, building strong relationships within the community, and ensuring that the benefits of parks and recreation are accessible to everyone. Attendees will be asked to share stories and strategies that are helping them foster a strong collaborative culture during this time.

This talk is an NRPA Member Benefit.

Your Words and Actions: Is Recreation Really Your Profession

This session will be a quick-hitting "self-assessment" for recreation professionals individually and from a leadership perspective. The old adage "you never get a second chance to make a first impression" is absolutely true. Current and potential participants, staff, funders and partners hear us long before we say a word. Often we have created obstacles that are almost impossible to overcome because we don't even know they exist. More importantly, good will can be created the same way. There are so many aspects to this that we can't cover them all. But there are a top three that we will address: communication (verbal and non), attitude (staff and participant) and appearance (staff and facility).
