Consultation has concluded
Strong partnerships are the key to a robust parks system. Not only can partners expand the types of programming offered across rec departments and lead or co-sponsor events, they can also provide space for recreational activities. In DC, partnerships are critical, both between federal park managers and local but also between different agencies within government as well as community partners. Working together and viewing the recreation system holistically can lead to all kinds of realized efficiencies. Administratively, DPR is looking to be much more public facing in its administration of LWCF funds and involve the community in this effort.
The Collaboration & Administration priority area will seek out partners to expand public access to recreational space and programs, whether through co-location, joint-use agreements, contracts, or partnerships agreements. Additionally, the priority's actions will be oriented to work with partner agencies, community groups, and nonprofits to identify and apply for new LWCF projects and increase public engagement in the annual selection of LWCF projects.
Examples of potential actions are:
Provide resources and technical assistance to underserved groups and areas of the city to help establish friends of groups for local parks
Identify new programmatic and investment partners
Pursue co-beneficial capital investments with other agencies and non-governmental entities
Seek public input to determine the annual allocation of future LWCF funds
Partner with schools and other rec providers to provide public access to rec amenities and open space
Pursue new cooperative management agreements with NPS
Seek additional public recreational benefits through the zoning and development review processes.
