Participation trends in the play, sport and recreation system are continuing to change. This change needs to be supported by strategies that can adapt - and recognise what has worked in the past is not likely to suit the future.

I'm grateful to Parks and Leisure Australia for publishing this in their Winter publication and Recreation Aotearoa Te Whai Oranga for enabling this.
Acknowledgments and thanks to Taranaki Foundation, Melody Mobsby, and Momentum Waikato Community Foundation for letting me highlight examples they are taking a lead on.
