Recreation Preferences of Minority People in the East Bay Area: A Pilot Study.

摘要

The report investigates ways of making the outdoor recreational experience more meaningful to minority residents. The authors used the East Bay District of the San Francisco Bay area for a pilot study where they found that minority residents make only limited use of the regional parklands. The investigation found that obstacles to park use included costs, poor access, overcrowding, hostility, improper services, and ignorance of facilities. The study included a survey on how park management might be improved.
