NRPA Reports on the $ 218 Billion Dollar Economic Impact of Local Parks

A report released by the National Recreation and Park Association this month that local public park and recreation agencies in the United States generated nearly $218 billion in economic activity and supported almost 1.3 million jobs that boosted labor income by more than $68 billion dollars.  These figures show that in addition to providing healthy outdoor options in close to home locations, these areas, facilities and programs support the economy in a significant way.  Here are the links to the report.
