Description:
We all know in our hearts and minds that parks and recreation is vitally important to making our communities great places to live. Yet, until now we have had very little data to demonstrate our impact. Many park and recreation agencies are now taking advantage of the gobs of data available to tell their story – to share the impact and value of their work. This panel of park and recreation professionals will share how they use data to document the impact of their work, demonstrate areas where improvement is needed, identify gaps in programs and facilities in underserved communities, ensure equitable distribution of staff and funds, develop a healthy infrastructure plan, and develop a system-wide equitable funding plan.
Learning Objectives:
1. Attendees will understand how data can be integrated into all aspects of a park and recreation agencies' work.
2. Attendees will understand how to use data to demonstrate the impact and value of parks, facilities, programs and services.
3. Attendees will understand how to use data to address park access, program and facilities gaps for underserved communities.
