Question

examples of 50 public facilities

Answer 1

The schools example is particularly relevant in times of tight parks and recreation budgets, because too often children and their families find the gates to school grounds, with playgrounds, athletic fields, gymnasiums, performing arts facilities, libraries, and meeting rooms, locked after school hours, keeping them from opportunities to be active. Making school grounds and facilities available after hours greatly expands recreational access at a tiny fraction of the cost of building and operating more parks. Conversely, the revenue that a school district may receive from other public entities that share access helps to defray costs of operations and maintenance—a win-win-win for public schools, local parks departments, and the general public. Other examples of shared use may include parking decks and shared office buildings.
