Universal design in park facility planning goes beyond ADA compliance by aiming to:
Answer: Create environments usable by all people without adaptation
Universal design principles seek to create spaces and products usable by all people, to the greatest extent possible, without specialized adaptation.
A Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) strategy most applicable to park planning is:
Answer: Ensuring natural surveillance through clear sightlines and appropriate lighting
CPTED promotes natural surveillance—using lighting, vegetation management, and layout to maximize visibility and deter criminal activity.
During schematic design, the primary deliverable is:
Answer: A conceptual layout showing major elements and relationships
Schematic design produces conceptual layouts and diagrams that illustrate the overall design approach and spatial relationships before detailed drawings are developed.
Which stormwater management technique filters runoff through vegetation and soil media in a linear channel alongside paths or roads?
Answer: Bioswale
Bioswales are vegetated channels designed to slow, filter, and infiltrate stormwater runoff, commonly used alongside pathways and parking areas.
The NRPA PRORAGIS database is primarily used by park agencies to:
Answer: Benchmark park and recreation system performance against peer agencies
PRORAGIS (Park and Recreation Agency Resource and Information System) is NRPA's data tool that allows agencies to collect and compare operational data against national benchmarks.
In park master planning, a 'bubble diagram' is used to:
Answer: Illustrate relationships and adjacencies between program areas without exact dimensions
Bubble diagrams are conceptual sketches using circles or blobs to represent program areas and show their functional relationships and adjacencies.
When evaluating playground equipment for a new park, which safety standard published by ASTM International is most commonly referenced?
Answer: ASTM F1292 (impact attenuation)
ASTM F1292 establishes the standard specification for impact attenuation of surfacing materials in playground safety zones.
