received multiple prestigious awards at the 2021 Georgia Recreation and Park Association’s Annual Conference.

Of the awards received, Cherokee Recreation and Parks earned the most prestigious award by being named Agency of the Year in the category for counties with populations over 150,000. Cherokee Recreation and Parks had previously earned this award in 1999 and most recently in 2003.

Cherokee County Community Services Agency Director Bryan Reynolds earned the highest individual district award by being named the District 5 Distinguished Professional. Reynolds previously served as the Recreation and Parks director from 2008–2019 and was appointed as the Community Services Agency director in 2019.

Other awards received include the District 5 Outstanding Program award given to the Cherokee County Aquatic Center for their Water Safety Week program held June 14–19, the District 5 Outstanding Facilities and Grounds Staff award given to Parks Manager Tony Stargel and the District 5 Al Richardson Outstanding Athletics Staff award given to Athletics Division Director Shawn Schumacher.

Commission for Accreditation of Park and Recreation Agencies After nearly two years of dedication and hard work, Cherokee Recreation & Parks Agency achieved national accreditation. The agency completed the final steps of the eighteen-month self-assessment phase of the process and submitted the report in March 2021 then successfully completed the CAPRA site visit in May 2021.

As part of the CAPRA process the agency approved and instituted a new Standard Operations Procedures Manual covering more than fifty new or amended

policies or procedures, instituted a new Park Maintenance Manual that guides maintenance processes and schedules in all twenty-three parks and facilities, adopted a new strategic plan that will guide program and facility development for the next five years, and trained staff in areas such as de-escalation tactics, developing and evaluating programs, social media use, and reducing risk in agency programs and facilities.

At the CAPRA hearing in late summer 2021, the agency officially passed 149 out of 154 standards, becoming just the eleventh accredited agency throughout the state of Georgia.
