Park and recreation agencies may have thousands, if not millions, of interactions with their residents and visitors each year. The typical park and recreation agency has nearly 225,000 contacts per year, while an agency at the 75th percentile has 1,000,000 annual contacts each year.

Park and recreation agencies are leaders in providing services and programming for children, seniors and people with disabilities. Eighty-two percent of agencies offer summer camps to their residents. This number rises at agencies serving jurisdictions with more than 20,000 people.
