Membership Directory and Buyer's Guide

Each year, the Wisconsin Park & Recreation Association prints a comprehensive Membership Directory & Buyer’s Guide that lists all the park and recreation professionals that are current members of the State Association. The directory lists the professionals alphabetical, as well as cross-referencing them according to Municipal and School District Departments, County Departments, State Parks-Department of Natural Resources, Therapeutic Recreation Services, Universities, and an Other Listing for specialized agencies.

The Directory also includes a Buyer’s Directory that lists Commercial Members by their product or service. This resource allows ready access to vendors who service Park and Recreation related agencies, and include architect and landscape companies, athletic and sports equipment, building specialists, fencing contractors, aquatic facilities and design, attractions and entertainment agencies, playground equipment and surfaces, site furnishings, and much, much, more!

The Directory is provided as a FREE service to Association members, and cannot be purchased separately. The Directory also lists Park and Recreation Board & Commission Members, Student Members, Office Support Staff Members, and a variety of information on the State Association.
