Parks and Recreation is a workplace comedy created by The Office's executive producers Greg Daniels and Michael Schur that airs on NBC. Like The Office, it has a similar mockumentary format but otherwise will have no connection, despite initially being considered a spin-off. Writers include Paul Feig, Tucker Cawley, Dan Goor, Alan Yang, and Charlie Grandy.

The series follows Leslie Knope, the Deputy Director of the Parks and Rec department in Pawnee, Indiana. Knope takes on a project from a nurse named Ann to turn a construction pit into a park, while trying to mentor April, a bored college-aged intern. The series was formerly tentatively titled as Public Service.
