information.
Proven Impact: Your Local Parks Addressing National Issues
The National Recreation and Parks Association (NRPA) has identified three key ways that local parks make a significant
impact in solving the nation’s toughest issues. By ensuring there is Social Equity in all programs and activities; providing
Health and Wellness opportunities; and engaging in effective Conservation practices, local parks are uniquely positioned
to positively affect their communities.
NRPA’s Three Pillars Defined
Social Equity
Ensuring all people have access to the benefits of local parks and recreation. True to the very philosophy of public parks and recreation is the idea that all people – no matter the color of their skin, age,
income level or ability – has access to programs, facilities, places and spaces that make their lives and
communities great.
Health and Wellness
Leading the nation to improved health and wellness through parks and recreation. America continues to feel the strain of a serious health crisis affecting adults and young alike. One in which we are
plagued by poor nutrition, sedentary lifestyles, and unhealthy habits. But there is a solution with little
to no cost and is available in nearly every town, city and community – local parks and recreation.
Conservation
Protecting open space, connecting children to nature, and engaging communities in conservation practices. Core to the mission of public parks and recreation is the preservation of natural resources and
the promotion of good conservation and stewardship practices. In today’s world, where conservation
and environmental stewardship is on everyone’s minds, public parks and lands are viewed as essential
to protect open space and preserve nature – our land, water, trees, open space, wildlife.
Richland County Recreation Commission (RCRC)
As the first nationally accredited parks and recreation agency in the state of South Carolina, RCRC has an obligation to
bring the national conversation to the local level. We do that every day through our mission statement, “Dedicated to
Enriching Lives and Connecting Communities through Diverse Recreational Opportunities.” NRPA’s “Three Pillars” will
assist our agency in telling the story of how the programs, services and activities that we offer are addressing serious national issues right here in our own community. The programs and activities you find in this program guide are more than
classes, but gateways to enriched lives and connected communities. Throughout the guide you will find symbols that will
identify a program that meets the criteria of each or all of the “Three Pillars”.
Enjoy becoming part of the conversation.
