BPRD’s recreation facilities and programs hosted a record number of visits and participants in the 2023 program year. The rapid growth over the past three years is due in large part to the strong rebound from the pandemic, the opening of Larkspur Community Center in 2021, and strong growth in demand and capacity in many program areas.
