Lakemont and the Rosenberg area have someone to be proud of! Darren McCarthy, Rosenberg Parks and Recreation Director, has met all National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA) requirements and is a Certified Park and Recreation Professional through 2012.  Only 12 recreation professionals in the region hold that certification, which testifies to the difficulty of accomplishing the feat.

McCarthy is also the certification chair for the Texas Recreations and Parks Society for TRAPS Region Four, covering the greater Gulf Coast and Houston. The NPRA is a nonprofit organization and is a leading national organization dedicated to the advancement of public parks and recreation via research and education.

Director Darren McCarthy originally came to Rosenberg in October 2007 where he was previously the Parks and Recreation Director in New Hampshire and oversaw six parks similar to Rosenberg's.  In addition to ten years of recreation management experience, he is also a Certified Commercial Recreation Professional, First Aid Instructor, and Certified Playground Safety Inspector.

With over 10 years experience and accreditation from the NPRA, Rosenberg area Parks and Recreation are in good hands. Congratulations go out to Darren McCarthy on a job well done.
