Strengthening the community and creating quality recreation and leisure experiences
is the mission of the award-winning Germantown Parks and Recreation department.
Six divisions--administration, building maintenance, Germantown Centre, parks,
recreation and vehicle maintenance--enable the department
the unique ability of being able to accomplish this mission
in a variety of ways. Active involvement of staff and
commission members in the Tennessee Recreation and Parks
Association and the National Recreation & Parks Association
also enables the department to better serve the public.
In 1996, the Germantown Parks and Recreation department became accredited through the
Commission on Accreditation of Parks & Recreation Agencies. This made
the department the 12th department in the nation and the only department
in Tennessee to earn this accreditation. In May 2001, the department
was re-accredited.
