Facilities of Merit Award
There is a direct relationship between the recreational opportunities in a given community and the facilities that enable those opportunities. MRPA is proud of the work our members achieve in enhancing existing facilities or in bringing new buildings and parks to their communities. This award is established to recognize outstanding facilities and the people who bring them to life.
