It was fifty years ago that the NRPA came to be. "On August 14th of that year the NRPA was formed with five related organizations that joined together and in 2015 we are celebrating 50 years of NRPA," stated Sanchez, "The association that is dedicated to parks, recreation and conservation efforts that enhance the quality of life for all people." "We just want to make sure that everyone in the community stays active," stated Juan Cuellar, Parks and Recreation Supervisor, "We have three independent leagues which we helped start going right now, so on any given evening you can come by and see soccer, football and basketball being played, and right now with the District 35 Little League tournament going on, it's awesome to see so many kids and adults staying active."
