Parks and grounds are essential assets that contribute to the quality of life in a community. They improve health outcomes, provide environmental benefits, and support social interaction, community engagement, and special events. Agencies managing assets in parks, government complexes, and campuses are increasingly burdened with overuse and often are the first agency to receive funding cuts during an economic downturn. As a result, they are continuously balancing asset maintenance needs with available funding.<\/p>\n

The first and most critical step parks and grounds agencies must take to prioritize asset needs is to create an asset inventory. An agency cannot plan parks and grounds improvements, maintain existing assets, and ensure guest safety unless they know what assets they have, where they are, and what condition they are in.<\/p>\n

The Parks and Grounds Management solution works directly with the Recreation Outreach<\/a> solution, sharing information between the two ArcGIS Solutions. Organizations can create and maintain their parks and grounds asset inventories in Parks and Grounds Management, and share the information to visitors using the Recreation Outreach solution.<\/p>\n

The Parks and Grounds Management<\/a> solution delivers a set of capabilities that help parks and grounds agencies inventory assets, understand asset condition, and communicate changing asset conditions that impact services.<\/p>\n

Streamline the creation and maintenance of asset inventories<\/h2>\n

In many cases, a field assessment of existing parks and grounds assets may be the most efficient way to develop a parks and grounds asset inventory. The information collected in the field can then be augmented with other descriptive information that helps staff or the general public view parks and grounds information easily. The Parks and Grounds Field Map can be used by maintenance workers to inventory and inspect parks and grounds assets.<\/p>\n

While maintenance workers are in the field, they can enhance existing parks and grounds information and capture new assets missing from the asset inventory. You can also access inspection and inventory assignments and update operations and maintenance staff as they complete each assignment.<\/p>\n

The Parks and Grounds Inventory app can be used by mapping technicians to create, update, and review parks and grounds assets. Existing parks and grounds assets collected in the field can be reviewed and information added to help staff and the public find information about a park, government complex, or campus.

Efficiently assess asset conditions<\/h2>\n

Operations and maintenance staff frequently manage complex operations around the inspection and maintenance of parks and grounds assets, and delegating related field assignments to maintenance workers. Sharing near real-time information between the field and the office is also critical to running operations smoothly and efficiently.<\/p>\n
