Strategies for local public agencies in California

Report

ChangeLab Solutions developed this white paper, Local Agency Strategies for Funding the Development and Maintenance of Parks and Recreation Facilities in California, to provide details on the most promising mechanisms and tools for funding a complete parks system.

California municipalities and other local public agencies (such as special districts) have a variety of options and strategies available for funding both the acquisition of new park facilities and the continued operation and maintenance of existing facilities and recreational programs. Such facilities may include neighborhood and citywide parks, regional parks operated by park districts, sports fields, community centers, and even large sports complexes.

Its companion product, the Complete Parks Playbook provides an overview of the seven elements of a complete parks system.
