Our journey began with a simple belief
That the knowledge and expertise accumulated within Parks and Recreation departments are “recipes” meant to be shared.
Here, each recipe is a meticulously crafted document, plan, framework, or strategy from the world of parks and recreation.
We're talking:
- Marketing & Communication Plans
- Facility/Field Rental Policies
- Recreation Software RFP’s
- Special Event Permitting Guides
And yes…we have recipes on how to deal with: Pickleball.
We save you time and effort by offering practical knowledge you can use immediately.
Parks and Rec Professionals wear a lot of hats
Within the last year you may have opened a new Community Center, promoted a new Public Art exhibit, or hired and onboarded new employees.
City Council’s demand action, and too frequently our day is spent in meetings, checking HR “boxes”, or updating a job description because you just lost an employee to another city who could pay $1.25/hr more than you.
Your 1-on-1 with your boss is next Tuesday and they’ll ask about your research and recommendation on a new policy for a temporary off-leash dog park.
As a modern day public servant, the skillset required for success has evolved.
Recognizing this evolution in my own work, I started www.parksandrecipes.com
We save you time and effort by offering practical knowledge you can use immediately.

One quick question for you…
I have ONE question I’d like to ask you. If you have 24 seconds, it would mean a lot.
What’s going on in your world that led you to sign up for this newsletter?
Could you e-mail us and tell me what challenges you’re facing in your parks and recreation journey. I try to respond to every email that hits my inbox.
