Parks and Recreation Receives Accreditation!

The Roanoke City Department of Parks and Recreation last week became only 1 of 76 Parks and Rec. departments nationwide to receive accreditation from the Commission for Accreditation for Park and Recreation Agencies.

This is an enormous honor for Director Steve Buschor and his talented staff in Parks and Rec. -- only six departments statewide and only 76 of more than 5,500 departments nationwide have received this honor.

Please take the time to congratulate staff members with Parks and Rec. -- it took teamwork, a sense of ownership over the city's many wonderful facilities and dedication to receive this national honor. We are proud of this wonderful accomplishment.
