Where the money goes: how recent UPARR grant recipients have improved urban recreation opportunities - History: UPARR at 25 - Urban Park and Recreation Recovery Program
Parks & Recreation, May, 2003
This year marks the 25th anniversary of the creation of the Urban Park and Recreation Recovery Program (UPARR). Throughout the year, Parks & Recreation will highlight the history and accomplishments, and look at the future, of this crucial program. As we go to press, the continued legislative and executive branch support for UPARR is unclear. We hope that learning more about UPARR's history will motivate you to work with your federal legislators to ensure its future.
We invite NRPA members who have utilized UPARR grants to share your stories. Contact Scott Douglas at sdouglas@nrpa.org.
