Parks & Facilities Management

IPWEA’s Parks and Facilities Program is designed to provide practical advice and guidance to assist parks management practitioners in the application of asset management practices.

IPWEA has produced a series Practice Notes, from PN10.2 Parks Management, to the newly release 10.6, Trails, Tracks and Paths.

Innovation and better management of your parks and facilities is achieved through the sharing of knowledge and information. The Yardstick Parks and Yardstick Facilities Programs were designed to do just that. Yardstick provides tools to collect and compare both management and user information.
