as a logical decision-making process, in which relevant information is gathered and used to make a series of related decisions; as a documentation process, in which decisions and the supporting rationale are written down in a format designed to support understanding; as a work process, in which planning teams move step by step through a series of specific actions designed to support decision making.

GENERAL MANAGEMENT PLANNING

Identification of park mission, purpose and significance statement. An inventory and description of the existing natural resources. A history, inventory and description of the existing cultural resources.

The General Management Planning includes the following:

A description of current park programming.

An inventory and description of the existing public recreation facilities. Identification of various park resources management zones and a description of the activities appropriate for each zone. Opportunities for future plans and projects.
