The venture is a therapeutic recreation program for service members and allows them to enjoy the recreation department's park system. Soldiers walk in the parks, play tennis, share together time with their IDPLOLHVRQSOD\JURXQGV¿VKDQGZRUN on gardening. The activities help soldiers, some of whom who are leaving the military, get acclimated to civilian life by visiting parks in the city of Fayetteville and assisting them with socialization skills.
