O knihe

Public parks are administered at all
levels of government-local, county, state, and national. In
Parks, People, Preservation, and Public Policy, author
Eleanor Boggs Shoemaker examines the York County,
Pennsylvania, Parks and Recreation Department and analyzes
the underpinnings of its success. From its inception in
1968, Shoemaker, an ardent volunteer for York County Parks
and Recreation, provides an in-depth look at the park system
beginnings, its land acquisition, its development, and
subsequent public enjoyment and support. Parks, People,
Preservation, and Public Policy tightly documents the York
County Parks' success formula in a lively commentary filled
with many human interest details. A thorough appendix
includes a timetable of significant accomplishments, charts,
parks' descriptions, and lists of board commissioners,
directors, advisory board members, park and recreation
staff, and friends of the park system. With almost 4,500
acres of park area, the York County Parks serve as a model
of a successful system that preserves open space for all
ages of citizens for years to come.
