Our mission is to enhance the quality of life in Louisiana by uniting those engaged in the park and recreation profession.

To accomplish our mission, we will foster and maintain high professional qualification standards, training and ethics. We will stimulate a wider interest in the preservation and the development of the state’s recreational resources. We will serve as an information exchange for programs, activities and problem solutions. We will cooperate with other public/private related agencies. We will protect the park and recreation professional’s interests. We will analyze and initiate legislation pertaining to the profession.

“Calling all public works professionals!" Registration is open for the LRPA Regional Maintenance Rodeo & Workshop hosted by Coquille Parks & Recreation. For additional information, email LRPA@lma.org.
