2 - Swim Lessons

Your colleagues are requesting information about how other agencies handle swim lesson classes that are canceled because of inclement weather or an unexpected facility closure issue. Do you already build in make-up classes in your schedule? Chime in!

3 - “Playing Up” in Age Brackets for Recreational Sports Leagues

Park and recreation professionals seem to always come across this dilemma, while managing youth sports leagues. What policies do you have in place regarding participants requesting to “play up” in your recreational sports leagues? Do you allow it at all?

4 - Recycling in Parks

An NRPA member is looking for other professionals to share information on successful recycling programs in their parks. As mentioned in the discussion, contamination can often be an issue when recycling, and they are looking to try a different method.
