The Kentucky Recreation and Park Society was organized in 1954 as a nonprofit professional association for Kentucky's parks and recreation professionals.  Our Mission is to further the growth and development of recreation and park services in Kentucky.  This is accomplished by providing conferences, workshops, technical assistance, advocacy, and other exchanges of information that enable each professional to become effective in improving the quality of life in the Commonwealth of Kentucky communities, from Paducah to Pikeville.
The Society is affiliate member of the National Recreation and Park Association.
