Next Steps Dig deeper into the 2024 NRPA Agency Performance Review data using the interactive tools. Create an NRPA Park Metrics account (tinyurl.com/ymwjhexh) if you have not done so already. Find peer agencies in NRPA Park Metrics by filtering the data by agency type, size, budget, geographic region and more. Enhance your NRPA Park Metrics experience even further by entering your agency's data to compare it with the key metrics of agencies throughout the United States. The 2024 NRPA Agency Performance Review does not represent park and recreation " standards, " nor do the benchmarks denote any requirements by which every individual park and recreation agency should measure itself. The reason for this is simple: There is not one single set of standards for parks and recreation because no two park and recreation agencies are the same.
