1 Municipal and County Parks and Recreation Services Study Focus on Trends Prepared by Recreation Resources Service A Cooperative Partnership between North Carolina Division of Parks and Recreation and North Carolina State University Parks, Recreation and Tourism Management Introduction Each year the MCPRSS attempts to determine the current status of local government parks and recreation departments in North Carolina. The report seeks to provide information to all local governments and park and recreation agencies to use in evaluati current services. The report also strives to assist leisure services in budget planni, preparation and justification. The MCPRSS, fiscal year , marks the 63rd year of assessment for municipal leisure service providers. This edition also marks the 43rd year of assessment for county leisure service agencies. The MCPRSS for this fiscal year repents a focus on trends. This year s study marks the first in a shift from a three, to a six- year cycle. The shift is an effort to reduce content overlap between the MCPRSS and the national benchmarki system PRORAGIS, as well as continue to supply in- depth information, but also be an indicator of emergi trends within North Carolina. The MCPRSS will continue to annually report audited data from the State Treasurers Office The MCPRSS offers leisure service managers and administrators an important tool for: - - Tax supported fundi trend analysis based upon chaes in operati budget fund levels from year to year. Compari park and recreation fees and charges for similar communities to evaluate level of service. As this year marked the shift to the new MCPRSS six year cycle, departments were highly encouraged to participate in PRORAGIS, the National Park and Recreation Association s online database that collects, compiles, and reports on park and recreation department operati and geographic information. PRORAGIS seeks to collect updates across a wide rae of areas, while the MCPRSS collects more detailed information on rotati basis. Departments that participate in both PRORAGIS and the MCPRSS are ensuri that they have access to the data necessary to analyze their operations internally and against other departments on a state and national level. 1
2 Highlights from the MCPRSS- Focus on Trends appear below, organized by the five categories of trend items departments were asked to pond to. Also included is an overview of study methods and a snapshot of pondents Methods In September of 212, the MCPRSS survey report was ed to 237 recognized local government park and recreation departments in North Carolina. One hundred and thirty- four (134) ponses were received by January for a ponse rate of 57% Mean and median ults from the Municipal and County Services Study, FY , provide significant information to local government park and recreation agencies if interpreted correctly. Organization Description of Geographic Regions The MCPRSS reports ults based not only upon size of population serve but also by geographic region. The leisure needs of, and service delivery to mountain communities differ from those of coastal communities of comparable size. The geographic regions repent three distinct regions of North Carolina: Mountains, Piedmont, and Coast. Figure 1.

As such, there were several (N=17) agencies who failed to indicate their agency s name by either leavi the question blank, or inserti a generic ponse such as recreation department. Unnamed agencies are included in all analyses in the followi report, and are included as their own category when maki comparisons across agency type, geographic region, and population class.

14 Results: Trends Data The ults of the Municipal and County Parks and Recreation Services Study are reported below. Questions are arraed in the order they appeared in the survey. I. Greenways 1.) How many miles of trails and greenways does your department maintain? Respondents were asked to indicate how many miles of both hard surface and natural surface greenways their department maintains. Mean and median ults are categorized in the followi table statewide and by population category. Table 2.

Respondi departments were asked to indicate the percentage of their trail system located within easements of any type. The table below lists the total number of greenway 14

The majority of pondi departments (8%) indicated that the their regional trail system is not connected to a regional system, while the remaini departments (2%) indicated that part of their trails system is in fact connected to a larger regional system.

Respondents indicated that their greenway systems are most frequently (36%) policed by local law enforcement.
