In order to promote good citizenship and to stimulate public health, safety, and welfare, this subchapter is enacted to provide greater opportunity for the establishing of park and recreation programs. Because recreation is a fundamental need, essential to the well-being of all people, and because parks are primary facilities for public recreation, therefore it is the purpose of this subchapter to consolidate those services to the end that overlapping costs be eliminated and governmental responsibility for park and recreation services be increased.
