It’s an exciting time for parks and recreation, and we’re uniting industry professionals and advocates to extend an invitation to Michigan residents and visitors: Come Out and Play! Let’s remind people of the freedom and adventure and joy that lie on the other side of the wall in our parks, trails, community centers and recreation facilities with this fun and inspiring public service announcement!

We’ve developed a full marketing toolkit for members to promote their local parks and recreation offerings, so you can customize your own promotional materials with the invitation to Come Out and Play. Resources include:

• Come Out & Play - a catchy theme song featured in the PSA (instrumental & vocal versions)
• Elevator speech - a short and inspiring overview of why parks and recreation matter (good for sharing with legislators, members of the public)
• mParks logos - including “Member of mParks” version for inclusion on web & printed materials
• Radio scripts - catchy standard text with space for customized information about your local park and recreation facilities

By uniting all parks and recreation agencies and departments behind this invitation, we can more effectively share the value of our industry. Help us invite all of Michigan to Come Out and Play!
