December 4, 1991 To: Cabarrus ~ounty~Doard of Commissioners Cabarrus County Manager Citizens of Cabarrus County From: Steve L. Little, Director Cabarrus County Parks and Recreation Department On behalf of the Cabarrus County Parks, Recreation and Prop- erty Maintenance Department, I would like to present with pride the Annual Report for Fiscal Year 1990-91. This Annual Report will highlight the comprehensive and diverse parks and recreation programs offered to all residents of Cabarrus County by our Department. The role of the Cabarrus County Parks and Recreation Department is to provide an umbrella of services and to meet the needs for fertilities and programs which are not currently being provided by other agencies. In seeking the best method for prouiding comprehensive recreation program services to all residents of Cabarrus County, the basic approach is to coordinate to the extent possible all program services and to recognize the important role played by each agency to provide the best potential for seruice. Cabarrus county has close coordination between Concord Parks and Recreation Depart- ment, Cannon Memorial YMCA, Cabarrus Arts Council, Volunteer Athletic organizations, ARC, Senior Citizens organizations, and many other sponsoring groups. As noted in this Annual Report, the Recreation Programs and Park facilities have tremendous in the last growth several years. An example of this growth is in the area of total Parks and Recreation participation of 9~,710 people in 1983-84 compared to 333,525 in 1990-91. This huge 245~ increase in De- partment Services over an eight year period or an average 30~ per year shows a good example of the demand of quality recreation opportunities by the genera] public. We wish to express our appreciation for the support and assistance given our department by the Cabarrus County Board of Commissioners, County Manager, County Cabarrus Cabarrus Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission and the public in general.
