Pool Party-Poopers
Have Finally Met Their Match

Pulsar® System with PRS Traps
99.9% of Crypto & Improves Water Clarity
The NSF certified sanitizer system supplies your pool with a continuous application of fresh available
chlorine at full strength 24/7. But where there's kids, there's also the risk of Cryptosporidium and E. coli.
That's why the new Pulsar® System with PRS makes filters more efficient by helping to
trap 99.9% of Crypto on the filter and improves water clarity 37%!*

Last year, many park and recreation
agencies used Visit a Park Day to showcase their local programs and facilities
in open house events. Park professionals
may also use this day to foster relationships between individuals charged with
upkeep/maintenance and the community. Fostering this relationship may aid in
public knowledge of current and future
obstacles and the ongoing issues parks
face with budget restraints and limited
resources. On a better note, fostering relationships between current and potential
users may allow park staff to highlight opportunities within the park, again, showcasing the various facilities, open areas,
and programming within the park.

While it is vital that
we understand and
position ourselves in
the local and regional
communities, it is equally
important to educate
the public as to the lifeenhancing benefits of
parks and recreation.
Overall, through this event, we seek
to motivate groups and individuals to
provide service and learning opportunities for park visitors. With recent data
showing increases in youth obesity rates
and crime and decreases in healthy lifestyles, there is no doubt that parks are
vital to a strong and healthy society. We
hope you will join us on April 8th and
participate in Visit a Park Day!
