National Urban Recreation Study Summary Report
US Department of the Interior Heritage Conservation and Recreation Service and US Department of the Interior National Park Service. 1978. National Urban Recreation Study Summary Report. US Department of the Interior
The National Urban Recreation Study is a response to the September 28, 1976, mandate of the United States Congress in Public Law 94-422, amending the Land and Water Conservation Fund Act. The study responds in the following ways: - It documents the importance of recreation in cities by taking a look at successes, problems, and needs expressed by local officials and residents. - It focuses specifically on close-to-home recreation needs. - It suggests possible actions to solve many open space and recreation problems. - It provides a basis for formulating coherent national recreation and national urban policies which take full account of urban recreation needs and the potential which recreation programs have for improving urban living conditions. While no single effort can give final answers on every aspect of such a complex subject as urban recreation, the National Urban Recreation Study responds to Congress request by offering broad coverage of urban recreation issues, problems, and alternative strategies. This publication summarizes the major findings and options for action of the National Urban Recreation Study.
