The Inspiration Awards

Inspiring Action for Parks

Great parks exist through the efforts of leaders who nurture the bond between parks and communities. Park Pride's Annual Inspiration Awards honor these leaders.

Park Pride’s Annual Inspiration Awards honor leaders (including community individuals or governmental representatives) who:

  • inspire others to expand and improve public parks and greenspaces,
  • work to raise awareness about critical, system-wide park issues,
  • and demonstrate a profound commitment to strengthening the connection between parks and their surrounding community.
