Code of Conduct
Our Vision and Mission
Our mission is to promote excellence in the Parks & Recreation Industry through connection, education, and recognition.
CPRA was established in 1951 as the trade association for parks and recreation professionals in Colorado. CPRA has been providing continuing education, professional networking and resources since that time.
CPRA is 501c3 non-profit.
CPRA’s History
CPRA was established in 1951 as a 501c4 trade association for Parks and Recreation professionals in Colorado. In 2015, CPRA became a 501c3 charitable nonprofit providing the Association with more tools and resources to better serve its members. CPRA has offered continuing education, professional networking, and resources for Parks & Recreation professionals since its establishment.
We are so proud to have been Colorado Parks & Recreation's trade association for 75 years! Celebrating, promoting, and fostering excellence in this extraordinary field is an essential service we are honored to continue after all this time. Change and growth have led to new generations and new horizons, but we are incredibly proud of our history and the foundation that got us here.
Help us celebrate with YOUR stories and memories! Send photos, scans, written stories, and any other CPRA historical knowledge you may have so we can share and celebrate it this year!
