In March 2017, NRPA’s research team sent a 19-question survey to senior-level park and recreation professionals that queried about not only the salary data of five positions at their agencies, but also the general information about benefits and salary policies. The survey generated responses from 480 park and recreation agencies across the United States, resulting in a 19-percent response rate.

The NRPA Park and Recreation Salary Survey report features detailed base salary and bonus data for five typical park and recreation agency positions:

• Park and Recreation Agency Director (or Executive Director or Superintendent)
• Planning Director (or Superintendent)
• Director of Finance (or Business Manager or Director of Administrative)
• Recreation Director (or Recreation Superintendent or Assistant Director – Recreation)
• Park Operations Director (or Maintenance Director or Maintenance Superintendent)
