Atlanta, GA (October 10, 2024) – Woodstock Parks and Recreation continues in the ranks of elite park and recreation agencies across the country by earning re-accreditation through the Commission for Accreditation of Park and Recreation Agencies (CAPRA) and the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA). This distinguished accomplishment was awarded during the 2024 NRPA Annual Conference in Atlanta this week at the Best of the Best Awards ceremony.
CAPRA accreditation is the only national accreditation for park and recreation agencies and is a measure of an agency’s overall quality of operation, management, and service to the community. This mark of distinction indicates that an agency has met rigorous standards related to the management and administration of lands, facilities, resources, programs, safety, and services.
“Woodstock Parks and Recreation demonstrated compliance with 154 standards to earn re-accreditation through CAPRA and NRPA,” said Mayor Michael Caldwell. “This is further proof that Woodstock enjoys the highest quality programs, best-in-class parks and trails, and award-winning events thanks to the work of this outstanding agency.”
Woodstock Parks and Recreation manages 8 city parks, over 25 miles of trails, a robust calendar of recreation programs, and the William G. Long Senior Center. The department produces annual events including Woodstock’s July 4th Spectacular, the Halloween Trail of Tricks and Treats, the Christmas Jubilee and Parade of Lights, and the region’s largest free summer concert series.
