Glendale, AZ

‍

The city of Glendale’s Public Facilities, Recreation and Special Events Department was honored at the 72nd annual Arizona Parks and Recreation Awards presentation held at the Peoria Sports Complex on Nov. 8. Glendale won two APRA awards. These awards recognize excellence in both parks and recreation and celebrates Public-Private partnerships

In a collaborative effort with Televeda, the city of Glendale created the Glendale Recreation Online Wellness program, or G.R.O.W. for short. This program won the city the 2022 Partnership Award. The G.R.O.W. program allows the city to offer classes to the community from the comfort of their homes or in person. City officials worked with Televeda to promote these opportunities and collaborated with one of their instructors on a virtual class.

Televeda offers platforms to assist communities in creating virtual community centers in an effort to decrease social isolation and improve wellness through classes participants can join remotely.

With the city of Glendale expanding the class virtually, they were able to expand both their reach and engagement.
