These laws will make parks and recreation in Tennessee less inclusive, less safe and less enjoyable.

Key Points: 
  • These laws will make parks and recreation in Tennessee less inclusive, less safe and less enjoyable.
  • These newly enacted laws are not only discriminatory, but they also harm and single out an already marginalized community, said NRPA President and CEO Kristine Stratton.
  • The 2021 NRPA Annual Conference will be held in Nashville, Tennessee, September 21-23.
  • NRPA will not hold future conferences and events in Tennessee with discriminatory legislation in place.
