Consultation has concluded
Advances in technology continue to transform every industry and parks and recreation is no different. From cutting edge asset management systems that offer the potential to make capital investments and maintenance repairs more efficient, to new motion-sensors and people-trackers to help provide use data, to the data management software that is used for DPR’s operations, technology has a huge role to play in parks and recreation management. Innovations in technology are also changing the way we experience the outdoors, with virtual gaming, smart parks, tech-aided exploration, and augmented reality creating new ways to incorporate technology into outdoor recreation and expand environmental education.
The Technology, Innovation & Education priority area seeks to integrate and utilize new technology in our parks, promote educational and entrepreneurship programming opportunities, and continue to innovate by designing new spaces and programs to address the concerns of our time.
Examples of potential actions of this priority area are:
Apply new technological tools, especially in data management
Add new environmental education programming and teaching spaces such as outdoor classrooms
Expand public Wi-Fi access in parks
Integrate environmental education into interpretive signage
Utilize technology to encourage youth to explore the outdoors
Expand access to nature virtually for those who are unable to experience it firsthand.
