Abstract | The coming future for parks and recreation education must not succumb to the nostalgia of the glory days of the past. Such nostalgia risks oversimplifying the challenges overcome in the past and challenges faced now and in the future. This paper presents compelling evidence for the repositioning of parks and recreation education. It first frames the larger social forces (e.g., political and economic) that have impacted the parks and recreation field. An overview of the previous literature on parks and recreation education is presented. National data trends in degrees awarded in parks and recreation are illustrated and placed in the context of other human service fields (e.g., social work, urban planning, public administration, and tourism). It concludes by asking the reader to consider the design implications for curricula in parks and recreation and how to reposition parks and recreation education to ensure a better future.
