The Roswell Recreation, Parks, Historic and Cultural Affairs Department has been named the Best Recreation and Parks Department in the state by the Georgia Recreation and Parks Association, city officials announced.
Roswell received the 2017 Agency of the Year Award for cities with populations of 80,001 to 150,000. Also, Roswell’s Strokes Camp, a summer camp program that lets children ages 5 to 8 learn ground strokes in tennis, brush strokes in art and swim strokes in swimming, was named the 2017 Outstanding Program of the Year.
Roswell has won the GRPA Agency of the Year award nine times, officials said. Earlier this fall, the National Recreation and Parks Association recognized Roswell as having the best park district in the nation in the Class III category for cities with populations of 75,001 to 150,000.
