PARK AND RECREATION NEEDS 

Over the next few decades, the population of older adults will increase to a point where nearly 1 in 5 people in our country will be over the age of 65. Not only will they grow to represent the largest segment of our society, but they are extremely active and vocal in the community. This creates an immediate need for municipalities and park and recreation departments to address the outdoor fitness and recreation needs of this growing and influential segment of the population.
