Founded in 1975, the CPA aims to promote the importance of parks in the community, advocate for their funding and maintenance, and provide educational resources to the public about the benefits of outdoor spaces. The organization works closely with local governments, park agencies, and community members to ensure that parks remain accessible and well-maintained for future generations.
