These are questions that, when answered, provide a lot of information about a community. If anyone has really watched a child at play, you can learn a lot about that child. The same applies to a community. We can tell a lot about the health and welfare of our community by the quality of leisure that is provided in and around the community.
Some people have the wrong impression about participating in recreational or leisure activities.
Some people only think of recreation as fun and games. Recreation is beyond fun and games. It is essential to the health and well being of a community. The City of Roswell, specifically the Roswell Recreation Department and the Roswell Park Department play a very important part in providing for the general health and well being of the community. During 1996, the Roswell Recreation Department serviced approximately 25,875 different individuals from Roswell and surrounding areas.
