Trivia
Chris Pratt (Andy) was such a good physical comedian that frequently the writers would just write "Andy does something physical" into the script, trusting he would come up with something in the moment.

Goofs
There is conflicting information in regards to the location of Eagleton. In season two, Leslie (Amy Poehler) states that Eagleton is "two towns over." However, later on, there is a "Pawnee/Eagleton border," meaning the towns are next to each other, some Pawnee citizens having left and settled Eagleton.

Quotes
Ron Swanson: What religion am I? I'm a practicing "mind your own f***ing business!"

Brings a fun time.

Parks and Recreation is set in the fictional town of Pawnee, a medium-sized city in the US state of Indiana. Pawnee is known throughout the United States for being shaped by numerous economic and social problems. For example, it is the fourth largest city in the United States with the highest rate of obesity. In mockumentary style, Parks and Recreation accompanies the employees of the Pawnee Parks Department. This office is responsible for the establishment and maintenance of Pawnee's parks and recreational facilities. The Parks Bureau is chaired by Ron Swanson, who has to argue with his deputy director Leslie Knope on a daily basis.

"Parks and Recreation" isn't nearly as good as "The Office", but it's also a very good and funny creation by the creator of both series.
