What Is Your Park and Recreation Life Hack? — Episode 054

A life hack is a clever tip or technique for accomplishing a
familiar task more easily and efficiently. And, with so many park
and recreation professionals having to wear multiple hats —
sometimes in the course of a single day — anything that can
efficiently simplify a task and save time is usually welcomed
pretty warmly.


On this episode of Open Space Radio, we’re looking back at one of
the questions that we asked attendees at the 2019 NRPA Annual
Conference in Baltimore, Maryland: What is your park and
recreation life hack?


With everything from duct tape and zip ties, to quotes from
Michael Jordan and love, you’re sure to find some inspiration
when you hear the life hacks of these people who were brave
enough to get on the mic with us:
