Is Your Park Smart? How GIS Can Revolutionize Parks

Parks are key to healthy, thriving communities. However, questions always arise on how state and local governments can manage and maintain these open spaces while improving the overall experience for visitors. Parks require managing assets and infrastructure, monitoring ecosystem health, and ensuring that programs and offerings for the public match demographics and lifestyles.

Watch on demand to learn how geographic information systems (GIS) are applying technology to modernize their workflows, analyze park use and conservation, and improve communication with elected officials and the public.

Specifically, you’ll learn:

• How GIS establishes four technology tenets governments need to deliver smart parks: planning and engineering, operational efficiency, data-driven performance and civic inclusion.
• How establishing a geospatial infrastructure can help parks improve the efficiency of their operations and the management of their services.
• How successful state and local parks are leveraging GIS to adapt and better serve their evolving communities.
