Placing a paver will not only go toward a great cause, it is a gift that will last for generations to come.

We are proud to be CAPRA accredited.What does having a CAPRA-accredited parks and recreation agency mean for residents of our community?

In 2010, Sioux Falls Parks and Recreation was recognized by the Commission for the Accreditation of Parks and Recreation Agencies (CAPRA) as the 90th parks and recreation agency to receive accreditation. With approximately 10,000 parks and recreation agencies in the United States, this was a wonderful success for the department.

Benefits to the public include:• Assurance and validation of well-administered services in accord with approved professional practices.

• Potential for external financial support and savings to the public.

• External recognition of a quality governmental service.

• Holds an agency accountable to the public and ensures responsiveness to meet their needs.

• Improves customer and quality services.
