Best Management Practices Used at Urban Parks in National and International Locations: A Background Report for the National Mall Plan
2007. Best Management Practices Used at Urban Parks in National and International Locations: A Background Report for the National Mall Plan. Center for Park Management, National Parks Conservation Association. Washington, D.C.
This report looks at best management practices used at a variety of urban parks in national and international locations. The purpose is to provide information that can be used in the development of a National Mall plan. The Center for Park Management conducted the research for this report in collaboration with the National Mall & Memorial Parks. The information presented is a synthesis of best practices used for events and maintenance at urban sites in the United States, Canada, England, and Australia. Use at these national and international sites is comparable to the National Mall in Washington, D.C. Four sites are in the United States — Central Park in New York City, Golden Gate Park in San Francisco, Millennium Park in Chicago, and Piedmont Park in Atlanta. Three park sites are in national capitals — Canberra, Australia (Parliamentary Triangle); Ottawa, Canada (National Capital Commission); and London, England (The Royal Parks).
