Urban Park and Recreation Recovery Act

The Urban Park and Recreation Recovery Act is a U.S. law aimed at improving and restoring urban parks and recreational facilities. Established in 1978 and revised in 1996, it provides federal funding to help cities revitalize parks that may be neglected or underfunded. The goal is to enhance public spaces, promote community well-being, and offer better recreational opportunities for residents. By focusing on urban areas, the Act seeks to ensure that all citizens have access to quality parks and recreational activities, contributing to healthier, more vibrant communities.
