About LRPR

The City of Little Rock Department of Parks and Recreation is pleased to keep you informed on our current efforts. We encourage you to recognize the underlying values of parks, recreation, and cultural activities---economic, social, communal, environmental, physical, spiritual, and aesthetic.

We are firm believers that great cities are not just buildings, streets, and surplus green spaces, but must also include creatively planned and well-designed parks, recreation facilities, open spaces, and opportunities for cultural enrichment. Well-planned developments can utilize parks, recreation centers, open space, and cultural opportunities to promote community investment and savings, educate citizens about the environment, and contribute to the city's unique cultural and natural character.

Overview

Or that Little Rock Parks and Recreation is recognized as one of 32 accredited parks and recreation agencies in the United States by the Commission for Accreditation of Parks and Recreation Agencies.  Just in case you didn't know, it's time!

From our municipal parks, to our recreational centers, to our community programs, it's time you knew about Little Rock Parks and Recreation.

Little Rock Parks and Recreation's motto has consistently been a commitment to excellence and in meeting the aesthetic, ecological, and environmental needs of our City. This commitment to excellence extends to the growth of our City's economy and infrastructure Parks and Recreation has been in on the groundwork of several citywide projects, including the River Market District and the renovation of the Riverfest Amphitheatre.

Our commitment to excellence is ongoing and that is why we encourage you to ask questions, express your concerns or simply, let us know how we can better serve you. It's time.
