Parks and Recreation Centers Bring Communities Together (from South University)

Parks and recreation centers offer countless benefits to residents fortunate enough to have them in their neighborhoods. With the many parks and community centers in Escambia County, there is something for everyone to enjoy. Benefits of these amenities in our communities include:

• Parks and recreation centers serve as an affordable place for people to exercise, enjoy nature and spend time with their family and friends.
• People living in towns with parks and recreation centers feel a stronger sense of community than those living in areas without these facilities.
• Parks and recreation centers are important to communities because they provide residents with a better quality of life, increase property values, attract tourists, improve air and water and bring the community together.
• Having a parks and recreation department makes a city more attractive to potential residents.
