Nearly 2 in 3 park and recreation agencies have established formal DEI activities or plan to establish them in the immediate future 💪 As public gathering spaces and important community resources, having data on where parks and recreation is - and is going with their diversity, equity, and inclusion work - is incredibly helpful. Not only helpful to the professionals working toward inclusive spaces, but for the community members who are looking for safe spaces to turn to. Our Research team surveyed park and recreation leaders in early 2023 to gain a better understanding of their agencies’ DEI practices. It takes inventory of park and recreation agency DEI activities, the professional development opportunities provided to staff, and the challenges organizations face in their efforts to promote DEI practices. This survey is the basis of our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in Parks and Recreation Report.
