1 Oregon SCORP Assessing Recreation Demand & Supply SORP Conference: April 13, 2015

2 Oregon SCORP Supply/Demand Planning Components A County-Level and Regional Planning Approach Oregon Outdoor Recreation Resource/Facility Inventory Oregon Outdoor Recreation Survey Recreation Needs Assessment Guidelines For Park System Planning Integration Of Need In OPSP Scoring Criteria

3 Oregon SCORP County-Level Data Collection SCORP Planning Regions In 2002, data was gathered at the state and regional levels (11 planning regions). Local recreation providers stated that region scale results were too broad for local planning. 36 Oregon Counties A decision was made to invest in collecting results at the county level.

4 Oregon SCORP Statewide Resource Inventory Collected information from 1,771 public & private providers. Included federal, state, county, municipal, special park and recreation district, ports, Tribes, public schools, utilities, and private-sector providers. Overall response rate of 91%.

5 Statewide Resource Inventory Totals summarized: Statewide SCORP Planning Region County

6 Statewide Resource Inventory County scale Multnomah County

7 Oregon SCORP 2011 Oregon Statewide Outdoor Recreation Survey Last statewide outdoor recreation participation survey was conducted in Examined outdoor recreation patterns for 70 activities of Oregonians in Survey conducted by Oregon State University (Kreg Lindberg & Randy Rosenberger).

8 2011 Oregon Statewide Outdoor Recreation Survey Survey Goals Estimate current recreation participation (70 activities). Evaluate opportunities to increase participation. Provide recreation planners across the state with statistically reliable results for use in local and regional planning.

9 2011 Oregon Statewide Outdoor Recreation Survey Target completions 25 from each of the very low population counties (Gilliam, Sherman, Wheeler) 100 from each of the low population counties (Grant, Harney, Lake, and Wallowa) 240 from each of the other 29 counties

10 2011 Oregon Statewide Outdoor Recreation Survey Methodology Internet preference approach Mail invitation to complete internet survey. Postage-paid postcard to select mail survey version. Included pre-notice letter, invitation letter, and two reminder letters. Sample drawn from DMV list of driver s license holders 18 & older.

11 Response Rates: Combined Mailout and Response Rates Number % of Mailed % of Delivered Mailed 50,150 Delivered 46,348 92% Completed 8,860 18% 19% Respondent by Version and Format Online (47%) Paper (53%) Total by Version Participant 88% 3,816 4,004 7,820 Non-participant (12%) ,040 Total by format 4,157 4,703 8,860

12 State scale participation results include: User occasions % of population participating Average # of times per year Average # of household members participating

15 Regional and county scale participation results include: User occasions % of population participating

16 County-level participation estimates being used in trails planning effort to estimate economic contributions Non-motorized boater survey included a set of trip-spending questions.

17 Statewide, non-motorized boating by Oregon residents contributes 1,243 jobs, $38 million in labor income, and $62 million in value added. Table 6.5. Multiplier effects of non-motorized boater trip expenditure, by region; employment in jobs, other measures in dollars Region Employment Labor Income Value Added Output ,017,900 6,690,500 10,319, ,807,100 15,241,200 23,147, ,759,100 2,864,400 4,429, ,880,200 4,701,700 7,106, ,000 1,383,100 2,221, ,284,100 5,413,900 8,593, ,463,200 20,591,600 32,282,600 7 & ,301,800 3,820,800 6,352,700 9 & ,100 1,395,400 2,237,800 Total 1,243 38,169,500 62,102,800 96,690,700

19 Local needs Plan used two methods to identify local need: Statewide outdoor recreation survey Statewide public recreation provider survey

20 Local needs Priority need for specific facilities in your community:

21 State scale highest priority for: Dirt & other soft surface trails & paths (3.8) Pubic access to waterways (3.5) Nature & wildlife viewing areas (3.4) Children s natural play areas (3.3) Picnic areas & shelters for small visitor groups (3.3) Off-street bicycle trails & pathways (3.3)

22 Priority need also presented at region and county scales:

23 2011 Oregon Statewide Outdoor Recreation Survey DESCHUTES COUNTY WHEELER COUNTY Need SCORE Need SCORE Dirt/ other soft surface walking trails & paths 3.6 Public access to waterways 3.5 Off-street bicycle trails & pathways 3.3 Public access to waterways 3.7 Picnic areas & shelters for small visitor groups Nature & wildlife viewing areas Differences in top funding need.

24 Local needs Public recreation provider needs assessment survey Sample included municipal, special park district, port district, county, state, federal & Tribal recreation providers. Internet survey 219 completions (51% response rate) Separate data collection for providers with majority of lands within & outside UGBs (close-to-home and dispersed settings).

25 Public recreation provider needs assessment survey Survey Monkey lists from grant program administrators

26 Please rate the importance of funding need. NEED WITHIN UGBs AVERAGE SCORE (1= not needed at all, 5= most needed) Community trail systems 3.60 Children s playgrounds 3.56 Acquisition of trail corridors & ROWs 3.34 Trails connected to public lands 3.34 Public restroom facilities 3.30 Picnicking/ day-use facilities 3.29 Children s natural play areas 3.22 Urban bike routes 3.21 Trails connecting communities/ parks 3.20 Acquisition of parklands 3.19 NEED OUTSIDE UGBs AVERAGE SCORE (1= not needed at all, 5= most needed) Group campgrounds & facilities 3.86 RV/ trailer campgrounds & facilities 3.69 Public restroom facilities 3.69 Tent campgrounds & facilities (car camping) 3.60 Group day-use & facilities 3.55 Acquisition of trail corridors & ROWs 3.46 Picnicking/ day-use facilities 3.43 Trails connecting communities/ parks 3.25 Cabins & yurts for visitors 3.23 Water trail routes 3.23

27 LWCF Grant Criteria (Local Needs & Benefits): County-level Analysis

28 Oregon SCORP Guidelines For Park System Planning From past SCORP planning surveys we know that: Many Oregon communities need assistance with park system planning. Many communities (30% of responding communities) do not have a recreation, open space, or management plan to identify recreation need. Of those with existing plans, many (54%) were more than 5 years old.

29 Oregon SCORP Guidelines For Park System Planning Recommend a parkland classification system for city, county, regional, and state park systems in Oregon. Conduct a parkland benchmarking survey to develop suggested parkland level of service standards for Oregon.

30 Oregon SCORP Developed 11 Parkland Types PARKLAND TYPES Pocket parks Urban plaza parks Neighborhood parks Community parks Regional parks Nature parks Special use parks Trails, pathways and bikeways Regional sports parks Linear parks Destination parks

31 Parkland Classification System Community Parks Community parks are typically larger in size and serve a broader purpose than neighborhood parks. Their focus is on meeting the recreation needs of several neighborhoods or large sections of the community, as well as preserving unique landscapes and open spaces. Community parks are typically acres, depending on the spatial requirements of the facilities provided and the amount of lad dedicated to natural resource protection. Community parks provide both active and passive recreation opportunities that appeal to the entire community serving an area approximately 15 minutes driving time with off-street parking and restrooms. Potential Community Park Elements Children s Play Areas Sports Fields & Courts Group Picnic Areas & Shelters Gardens Trail or Pathway Systems Community Festival or event Space Green Space or Natural Areas Off-street Parking Public Restrooms Community Park Forest Grove, Oregon

32 Parkland Benchmarking Survey OPRD conducted an online survey of all municipal, county, special park and recreation district, port district, and Tribal providers in Oregon.
