We have maintained the basic organization framework and structure for the 5th edition of Managing Recreation, Parks, and Leisure Services: An Introduction. The book is divided into four sections. Part I is focused on the topic of “Managing Recreation, Parks and Leisure Services: Setting the Context.”  Part II presents “Key Managerial Leadership Issues.” Part III offers information focused on “Managing Resources.”  And, last, Part IV offers a review of issues related to “The Future.” Incremental additions have been made in each chapter as needed, and we included a section in every chapter known as Park Features, which provide for classroom discussion.
