Recreation
EXPAND THE PARKS AND RECREATION SYSTEM. The parks of Manchester are one of the City’s best assets. Municipal parksand-recreation systems across the U.S. have evolved to include a wider variety of spaces to support a much broader range of activities. The composition of these newer systems has expanded the role of parks and recreation to address active living at any age, better environmental stewardship, and improved community health and wellbeing.
