The Annual Arizona Parks and Recreation Association Conference & Expo is the premier education, networking, and exhibition event where we celebrate and educate Arizona's park and recreation professionals. Our event draws a variety of participants, including park and recreation professionals, elected officials, and commission members from across the state of Arizona and our Western counterparts. In 2025, we are excited to offer more sponsorship packages, larger exhibit hall footprint, new member engagement opportunities, and a two-day exhibit hall featuring extended hours. Connect with some of our 2750+ members who share a passion for the parks and recreation industry.
