In October of 2023, the Mobile Parks and Recreation Department (MPRD) was accredited by the Commission for Accreditation of Park and Recreation Agencies (CAPRA) for the first time. Of more than 10,000 parks and recreation agencies across the U.S., just 206 have achieved CAPRA accreditation, and MPRD is only the second one in the State of Alabama.
CAPRA accreditation is the only national accreditation for parks and recreation agencies and speaks to MPRD’s overall quality of operation, management and service to the community. To join the ranks of the most elite agencies, MPRD had to soundly demonstrate that it meets or exceeds the national best practices for managing public spaces, facilities, programs, and services. MPRD proved that it meets these standards with a commitment to safety, equity, and public involvement.
