Regional Groups

mParks Members represent the entire state of Michigan. While we value the benefits of connecting with colleagues across the state, we know it's important to build relationships with park and recreation professionals local to you. Regional Groups are a great way to connect with professionals working in departments near you. Regional Groups operate separately from mParks and have their own dues budgets.

  • Knuckles Knorth - Northern Michigan Parks & Recreation Association: The coverage area is all of northern Michigan.
  • NERPA - Northeast Recreation & Park Association: The coverage area is Macomb County and northeastern area of Metro Detroit.
  • NWPRA - Northwest Parks & Recreation Association: The coverage area is Oakland and Livingston counties and Highland Park.
  • SMRPA - Southern Michigan Recreation & Park Association: The coverage area is southern and mid-Michigan.
  • WAM - Wayne and Monroe Counties: Coverage area is downriver Detroit area.
  • WMRPA - Coverage area is all of West Michigan.
