Purpose of a Recreation Advisory Council
(as outlined in the PRAC Manual)
The local recreation advisory council, composed of community
resident participants at the recreational facility, provides a method to interpret recreational needs.
Through the advisory council, a community resident can express his/her desires
as to the type of programming that the playground or recreational center should
offer with respect to time, space and variety of activity. It is a vehicle
for citizen involvement, and is the means of making certain that the recreational
services are geared to the needs of the community.
The advisory council is a way by which other community recreational
agencies, athletics organizations, churches and civic groups can be united towards coordinating recreational activities and programs
for the total community.
