California and provide facilities offering pleasant surroundings for leisure activities, relaxation, and
positive recreational experiences; and
Whereas,park and recreation programs reach millions of children,adults and seniors through
facilities and programs that address such issues as youth-at-risk, homelessness, aging, nutrition and
education; and

alternatives for youth, contribute to good health, and generally help provide an overall improved
quality of life; and
Whereas, parks and recreation services support more productive workforces, enhance the
desirability of locations for businesses and families, and stimulate tourism revenues to increase a
total community economic development model; and

the planning, development and operation of parks and recreation facilities;
