Woodstock Parks and Recreation Earns National Reaccreditation Woodstock Parks and Recreation continues to be in the ranks of elite park and recreation agencies across the country by earning reaccreditation through the Commission for Accreditation of Park and Recreation Agencies (CAPRA) and the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA). This distinguished accomplishment was awarded during the 2024 NRPA Annual Conference in Atlanta during the Best of the Best Awards ceremony. CAPRA accreditation is the only national accreditation for park and recreation agencies and is a measure of an agency’s overall quality of operation, management, and service to the community. “Woodstock Parks and Recreation demonstrated compliance with 154 standards to earn reaccreditation through CAPRA and NRPA,” said Mayor Michael Caldwell. “This is further proof that Woodstock enjoys the highest quality programs, best-in-class parks and trails, and award-winning events — thanks to the work of this outstanding agency.” Woodstock Parks and Recreation manages eight city parks, over 25 miles of trails, a robust calendar of recreation programs, and the William G. Long Senior Center. The department produces annual events including Woodstock’s July 4th Spectacular, the Halloween Trail of Tricks and Treats, the Christmas Jubilee and Parade of Lights, and the region’s largest free summer concert series.
