The Acworth Parks and Recreation Department is a member of the Georgia Recreation and Parks Association. Within the GRPA the city is a member of District Five that is comprised of all Parks and Recreation agencies in Northwest Georgia. Each year the GRPA and District Five hold awards banquets where the top individuals and agencies are recognized for their achievements in the previous year. 2010 The City of Acworth is pleased to announce that the Acworth Community has been selected as a 2010 All America City. The National Civic League’s All America City Award Competition was held June 16 through June 18 in Kansas City, Missouri where twenty five cities from across the nation competed for the coveted designation. The distinction of being chosen as an All America City is a prestigious honor for those communities that have demonstrated success in overcoming community challenges. The Acworth Community highlighted three programs where the government, business, non-profit, and faith based organizations came together to achieve a common goal. The three programs are the Expanding Horizons, Acworth Achievers, and the Horizon Field. 2009 Jeff Chase, Georgia Recreation and Parks Association, District 5, Administrative Support Professional of the Year Award Lauren Ham, Georgia Recreation and Parks Association Therapeutics Section Distinguished Professional of the Year Award Peter Jezerinac, Georgia Recreation and Parks Association, District 5, Outstanding Facility and Grounds Professional Aaron Ross, Georgia Recreation and Parks Association Facilities and Grounds Section Distinguished Professional of the Year Award Department, Georgia Recreation and Parks Association Innovative Program of the Year Award for the Horizon Kickball League Department, Georgia Recreation and Parks Association Agency of the Year 2008 Frank White, Georgia Recreation and Parks Association Minority Section Distinguished Professional of the Year Award Department, Georgia Recreation and Parks Association Publication of the Year Award for the "Recreation Connection" 2007 Peter Jezerinac, Georgia Recreation and Parks Association Facilities and Grounds Section Distinguished Professional of the Year Award Jodi Mills, Georgia Recreation and Parks Association, District 5, Outstanding Programmer of the Year Award Frank White, Georgia Recreation and Parks Association, District 5, "Al Richardson" Athletic Programmer of the Year Award Department, Georgia Recreation and Parks Association Innovative Program of the Year Award for the Expanding Horizons Program 2006 James Albright, Georgia Recreation and Parks Association, District 5, Distinguished Professional of the Year Jodi Mills, Georgia Recreation and Parks Association Administrative Support Professional of the Year Rebecca Wood, Georgia Recreation and Parks Association, District 5, "Al Richardson" Athletic Programmer of the Year Award 2004 Georgia Recreation and Parks Association District 5 Agency of the Year
