NACPRO - The National Association of County Park and Recreation Officials

  • If you have any questions feel free to e-mail us.

What is NACPRO?

The National Association of County Park and Recreation Officials is an independent non-profit organization with membership throughout the United States.   The goal of NACPRO is to provide members with opportunities for networking, sharing resources, and professional development and to advance official policies that support county parks and recreation systems. NACPRO also represents counties and regional park systems on federal legislative matters. 

NACPRO is an affiliate of both the National Association of Counties (NACo) and the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA). 

Legislative Platform

NACPRO, as an affiliate of both NRPA and NACo, has the opportunity to influence the legislative agendas of these organizations.  We are able to consider legislative concerns of county and special district park and recreation agencies and make sure these interests are represented through the lobbying strength of the larger NRPA and NACo organizations.

Among NACPRO’s major areas of concern for 2009 are:  LWCF, UPARR, RTCA, CDBG, children and nature initiatives, natural resources preservation programs, and funding for physical activity and nutrition promotion programs. The NACPRO Board of Directors invites all members to review the 2009 Legislative Platform and submit additional concerns and comments to NACPRO nacrpo.office@gmail.com.
