We are pleased to announce the release of the 3rd edition of the popular book Master Plan Process for Parks and Recreation.

The authors, well known to the profession, have updated the text with new content, relevant examples and an interesting reading style.

The text walks the university student or planning professional through the intricate process of preparing a comprehensive and detailed parks and recreation master plan.  Topics answer such questions as:

  • What is a master plan?

  • What are its purposes? 

Topics also address preparation elements, time and cost factors and master plan uses. 

The primary components of the book address in detail how to prepare the community context, the inventory of community resources and a community population study, how to create and implement citizen input, making meaningful comparisons to other agencies and recommending specific action strategies, and how to identify and fund the recommended actions.

“This book is the definitive guide for planners and recreation professionals who prepare community master plans or who oversee the preparation of a master plan.  It presents the components of a typical plan in a logical and easily understandable format.  Each section is explained in clear and concise language that makes this an indispensable resource for the user.  By following the steps described, any agency can develop a master plan that is both meaningful to the public and elected officials as well as one that is useable and practical.  After twenty-five years working in public recreation, this remains the one book I refer to regularly.”  -Stan Ford, General Manager, Coachella Valley Recreation and Park District Palm Desert, California
