[CABARRUSCOU~J NO~T~ CA~OtlNA To~ ge~ November 21, 1996 Cabarrus County Parks and Recreation Commission Cabarms County Board of Commissioners Cabarrus County Manager Citizens of Cabarrus County Steve L. Little, Director Cabarms County Parks, Recreation and Property Maintenance Department 1995-96 Annual Report On behalf of the Cabarrus County Parks, Recreation and Property Maintenance Department, I would like to present with pride the Annual Report for Fiscal Year 1995-96. The Annual Report will highlight the comprehensive parks and recreation programs offered to all residents of Cabarms County by the Department. The role of the Cabarrus County Parks, Recreation, Property Maintenance Department is to provide an umbrella of services and to meet the needs for facilities and programs which are not currently being provided by other agencies. In seeking the best method for providing 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 service. Cabarrus County Parks and Recreation Department has close coordination between Concord Parks and Recreation Department, Cannon Memorial YMCA, county wide volunteer athletic organizations, Cabarms Arts Council, ARC, Department of Aging, David Murdock Senior Center, and many other sponsoring groups. As noted in this annual report, the Recreation programs and Park Facilities have experienced a tremendous growth in the last several years. An example of this large growth is the area of the Youth and Adult Athletic Programs of 4,720 participants in FY 1986-87 comp~.~ to 9,692 participants in FY 1995-96. This huge 105% increase in number of athletic particip~:~.~,: shows a good example of the demand of quality recreation opportunities by the general public.
