Alamar Park Awarded Outstanding Facility
The Arizona Parks and Recreation Association (APRA) 73rd Annual Awards were held on Tuesday, August 22nd at the Renaissance Phoenix Glendale Hotel & Spa. The APRA annual awards honor communities throughout the State of Arizona that demonstrate excellence in long-range planning, resource management, and innovative approaches to delivering superb park and recreation services with fiscally sound business practices.
A panel of park and recreation professionals served as judges to review all applications. Judges are chosen for their considerable experience and knowledge in parks and recreation on both local and national levels. The criteria that judges voted upon are:
