Park StoriesSports Fields: Play Up Social OpportunitiesUse shade to increase use of sports facilitiesBy Mary Helen SprecherOne of the great advantages of sports is they bring people together. Let’s face it—it’s just plain fun to catch up with friends, whether watching kids in Little League or finishing a great game of pickleball or tennis and wanting to unwind and talk.In other words, the social experience is its own part of the game. If your park regularly hosts sports (for adults or youth), one of the best ways to drive engagement is to pla...2023-11-0806 min

Park StoriesParks: The Master Planning MindsetFrom napkin sketches to developing lasting landscapesBy Douglas GerberWhether a master-planning idea emerges from public-outreach efforts, community initiatives, or common needs, an idea takes hold and exploration ensues. These flashes of brilliance may have significant impacts on the built environment, but where to begin? This article will explore how that idea can be developed into a defined program, and then how it can be translated into an enjoyable park, trail, or greenspace. The first step is to recognize an idea and then communicate that to the next person. Often, t...2023-11-0808 min

Park StoriesRec Facilities: Cultivating A Community Gathering SpaceCreating a rec center with a farmhouse feelBy Zach Bisek and Lauren McKissack What began as a homestead fueled by the Gold Rush and then turned into an agricultural hub, the town of Berthoud, Colo., has not-so-slowly morphed into a growing destination for young families and modern-day Coloradans looking for a slower pace of life and lower living costs than in its neighboring cities. With both a population growth and shift in culture, Berthoud has become perfectly poised for a new recreation facility.

Chances are your park is being used by skateboarders, BMX riders, scooters, rollerbladers, roller skaters, and even wheelchairs. All genders, all ages, abled and disabled riders, create a huge melting pot of active users who make a skatepark the most welcoming play space in a city. Even the Olympics has added skateboarding, freestyle BMX, and adaptive riding, and there is a lot of buzz...2023-11-0706 min

Park StoriesColumns: Eyes On The RoadDon’t let technology take over what humans can do betterBy Ron CiancuttiI recently saw a truck commercial where the driver took his hands off the wheel and began to play patty-cake by himself. As the music swelled with the beat, he sat back comfortably, presumably to await the oncoming 18-wheeler being driven by a guy who was probably busy trying to reset his cell phone clock. The advantage there was that both drivers would have an accurate time of death when the “head-on” collision occurred.2023-08-0805 min

Park StoriesColumns: A Winning Sense-ationSensory bags bridge communication gap between officers and communityBy Marika CarleyOn an overcast, late April day, a young boy runs along Georgia Avenue—a busy thoroughfare in Montgomery County, Md.,—barely avoiding being hit by passing vehicles. The child is spotted by Sgt. Trevin Sherard, a Montgomery Parks Police officer, who happens to be driving past the scene. Sherard immediately springs into action to help the child. After interacting with the boy, the officer recognizes that the child is nonverbal and likely autistic, so he brings out his sensory bag.2023-08-0807 min

Park StoriesParks: Simple Is SmartAs a park-shelter design unfolds, it takes the shape of … triangles?By Jamin AAsumDesigns that appear simple and resolved are often the result of a painstakingly detailed process. While a park shelter at Luuwit View Park in Portland, Ore., appears to be a simple collection of triangular shapes, there is a complexity behind the presentation. The sculpture-like shelter is part of the new park created four years ago. The hourglass-shaped area is laid out along two datum lines that direct a user’s eye to Mt. Hood to the east and M...2023-08-0707 min

Park StoriesParks: Soaking In Safety And Cost SavingsWays to make maintenance effective at a water park By Chris BiancofioreIt goes without saying that safety, maintenance, and saving money are important at park facilities. But think about how these three concepts connect for a water park to thrive. Good, consistent maintenance mitigates safety risks that are inherent in creating fun and thrills with water. In more than 20 years in the industry as a manufacturer, I have seen great as well as not-so-great practices when it comes to maintenance. Here is how proper care of equipment will ensure safety AN...2023-08-0708 min

Park StoriesAquatics: Create A Winning CombinationProgramming, planning, and projects are key ingredients in attracting user groups to swimming pools By Lauren Ozburn In the summer before I began middle school, I officially became an elder at the local pool that was within walking distance from my house. I probably consumed a dozen or more frozen Snickers as bribes by lifeguards who wanted to leave the pool on days too cold to remain open. My friends and I treated the pool like our home, and at least one of us would leave a towel to claim a seat for the next da...2023-08-0707 min

In Appleton, Wis., the parks and recreation team took on a “2020 Summer Reimagined” theme and set to work on brainstorming safe, community-engagement programs.

In fact, I’ve seen a lot of modern homes with a “breakfast bar” but not many with actual kitchen tables. The bar typically has a television at one end that helps discourage any possible interaction or conversation. In my house, the dinner table was where my family met to discuss the highs and lows of our day. I learned to tell a joke and speak before a g...2023-06-0906 min

Park StoriesAquatics: AquaticityMore than a fancy word, use it to improve results in swim lessonsBy Jo An M. Zimmermann and Stacey BenderAquaticity is a term historically used in biology and refers to the capacity of an organism to function or be comfortable in an aquatic environment (Vaveri et al., 2016). By focusing on skills such as breath-hold capacity, buoyancy, propulsion, and physical conditioning (endurance and strength), participants can develop a higher level of comfort in the water (aquaticity improves). The idea is the higher a person’s level of aquaticity, the more comfortable and se...2023-06-0907 min

Park StoriesParks: Community GardensGrow food, friendships, and opportunitiesBy Ann ChristophCommunity gardens are increasingly appreciated as urban amenities, where social isolation—both from standardized-housing tract design and from COVID-19 pandemic restrictions—can be relieved. For example, the community of Rancho Mission Viejo in southeast Orange County, Calif., advertises “Get closer to nature and neighbors with all the elements to grow and thrive.” A 2022 study by Eiji Toda and Edward Lowe1 of Soka University surveyed six community gardens in south Orange County.

Typically free to use and open to the public, they’re an accessible and affordable way to keep children entertained when school’s out.
