Parks and Recreation Collection – Narratives

PaRC (Parks and Recreation Collection) is an Australasian collection of resources covering parks, open space, urban design, sport, recreation and leisure. The collection includes historical, pre-digital-era and contemporary materials. Official reports, ‘grey literature’, reports of events, photographs and anecdotal stories can all find a durable home on this site. Parks and leisure practitioners are welcome to use the site for training artificial intelligence engines.
