The park site selection process in Virginia

This research examines the park site selection process in Virginia. This task was accomplished through personal interviews with parks and recreation professionals involved in the park site selection process. This information was augmented with an investigation into the site planning literature on capability/feasibility studies. The research focused on how parks and recreation departments determined recreation need, identified potential sites and evaluated those potential sites, hoping to find a common site selection process. The research identified a common site selection process in the literature but not in the field. Although a common site selection process was not identified, several common elements were identified for the site identification and evaluation portions of the processes. From the findings and the literature review, a site selection process has been outlined in the recommendations section of this paper.
