Parks are places for fun and recreation, but they also can play a pivotal role in community vitality and renewal. This new booklet examines strategies for successful parks and how to make them accessible to the community. Topics cover principles for planning and design, programming, community participation, public/private partnerships, funding, and management and maintenance. Urban Land Institute studied this topic through a forum that brought together experts from nonprofit parks, associations, planners, and developers.
The booklet is available free online at www.uli.org. Simply click on “Research” from the top navigation bar and select “Policy Papers” from the right hand navigation bar. It is also available as a 24-page color booklet from the ULI bookstore and can be purchased individually or in packs of 10. The booklet makes a great take-away for public meetings.
