Parks and Tech: Balancing Technology with Personal Connections

Technology in Parks and Recreation significantly enhances our lives as Parks and Recreation Professionals. However, one of the most critical aspects of Parks and Recreation programs is personal interaction, which technology can sometimes diminish. Over-reliance on digital platforms can lead to a reduction in face-to-face interactions, which are vital for community building and creating meaningful experiences. Programs should be designed to incorporate technology in a way that enhances rather than replaces personal connections.
