Innovative Grants Tuesday, January 21, 2004 Urban Park and Recreation Recovery Grant Program Oakland ~ The National Park Service, through the Urban Park and Recreation Recovery Grant Program supports recreation in urban areas, by rewarding creative thinking with "innovative grants." Recently rewarded for this such grant was Adapted Boating for people with disabilities in Oakland, California as well as a City-Fit Program for health and fitness in New Rochelle, New York. "State and local parks have been created through federal assistance ~ projects conceived and carried out by local areas to serve their own needs. These needs range from Little League baseball diamonds to large state parks to riverways purchased with Federal Grants and matching funds from state and local levels."
The National Park Service tries to address inclusion and support through conservation goals, recognition programs, and technical assisance to communities that request help. |
