Glendale Parks and Recreation is Nationally Accredited
On October 13, 2009, the Glendale Recreation and Parks Department became one of only 88 agencies in the world to have received national accreditation from the Commission for Accreditation of Park and Recreation Agencies (CAPRA). This distinguished accomplishment was announced in Salt Lake City, Utah, at the National Recreation and Park Association Annual Congress.
CAPRA provides quality assurance and quality improvement of accredited park and recreation agencies throughout the United States. CAPRA is the only national accreditation of park and recreation agencies, and is a valuable measure of an agency’s overall quality of operation, management, and service to the community.
