Welcome to the Louisiana Recreation and Parks Association's official web site. LRPA members serve as advocates to the parks and recreation profession in Louisiana and across the nation through our national counterpart NRPA. Together, we make a difference in our communities by providing facilities and programs that improve the quality of life and the economic well-being of our communities.
The association promotes and advocates the leisure profession by serving as a conduit to inform and educate professionals, citizen board members, friends, and those in associated industries. Through our annual conference, tri-annual newsletter, and weekly Newsbites, LRPA makes sure every member has the opportunity to arm themselves with the latest information-- from local events to national legislation.
Current hot topics for the association include childhood obesity and renewable energy. To these ends, our president is currently conducting and e-mail drive to reduce association paper waste through our newsletter. Members also have the opportunity to become completely paperless. Louisiana Parks and Recreation has a team on the Governor’s Council on Physical Fitness and Sports’ Lighten Up Louisiana program. At our last board meeting, LRPA passed a resolution to approve and support SPAR's 4th Annual Fit for Life weekend May 9 - 11, 2008, and the next board call will be held via WebinR.
We hope you'll consider joining our efforts to improve Louisiana communities through the parks and recreation profession. |
