Youth Programs Department Information History The Long Beach Department of Parks, Recreation and Marine (LBPRM) oversees the operation and maintenance of all Long Beach public recreational facilities, including two oceanfront marinas, a commercial harbor, 92 The Long Beach municipal parks system began in 1888 when the City established Pacific Park. In 1895 the Long Beach Improvement Society formed to promote parks and beaches as tourist destinations to boost the local economy. Its work succeeded wildly on July 4, 1902 when a public indoor pool filled with sea water opened to a crowd of 60,000 at a time when the City's population was 1,800. During the 1930s Federal Works Progress Administration supported the development of recreational facilities throughout Long Beach. Projects included the construction of Auditorium Park on the beach at American Avenue, the Woodland Terrace Theater at Recreation Park, a championship golf course at Recreation Park, high tide breakwaters at Alamitos Bay State Park, the creation of a municipal nursery, comfort stations, tennis courts, preparations for the 10th Olympiad and club house renovations.

Extractions: Economic considerations module introduction construction costs operation and maintenance costs ... appendix Recreational value Free-flowing rivers and lakes behind dams offer recreational opportunities. The types of recreational activities offered by lakes and rivers are different from one another, and therefore the removal of a dam will change the character of the recreational activities available. Members of your community may favor or oppose dam removal on the basis of the possible changes in recreational opportunities. Further, recreation-based businesses depend on the character of the recreational opportunities in the surrounding area. For the purposes of this module, recreation has been split into two different categories for consideration. The first category is recreation by community members, that is, a valuation of the recreational benefits that each option has for residents of your community. The second category is the economic benefit gained from tourists from outside the community. The valuation process for each of these is different. Impoundments provide several pond and lake recreational activities. Many impoundments in Wisconsin offer excellent sport-fishing opportunities. The fisheries found in impoundments are generally warm- and cool- water fisheries supporting smallmouth and largemouth bass, northern pike, muskellunge, walleye, panfish, and many others. Impoundments also offer boating opportunities, such as motorboating, rowboating, sailing and flatwater canoeing and kayaking. Impoundments can be used for swimming and innertubing. Larger impoundments offer waterskiing, kneeboarding, and wakeboarding. Impoundments that freeze over in the winter provide opportunities for ice fishing, ice skating and hockey. Lakes may support waterfowl habitat, providing hunting opportunities.

Hardy V http://www.law.utexas.edu/dawson/cases/land/hardy.htm
Extractions: January 8, 2002 Summary of Opinion Plaintiff Hardy was injured while hiking on Forest Service land that was managed by defendant corporation under a permit from the Department of Agriculture. Defendant claimed immunity under the New Hampshire recreational use statute and the trial court granted summary judgment in its favor for that reason. Text of Opinion Appellant Kathleen Hardy fell on a path at the top of Loon Mountain, breaking her leg. She claims that appellee Loon Mountain Recreation Corporation ("Loon Mountain" or "Loon") was responsible for her injury. The district court concluded that a New Hampshire recreational use statute immunized appellee from liability and thus granted summary judgment for the company. We affirm. I. Background Loon Mountain operates a recreational area on United States Forest Service land in Lincoln, New Hampshire, under a special use permit that gives the company a nonexclusive right to offer recreational programs at the site. Loon's mainstay during the winter months is its operation of a ski area. In the summer, its activities include a gondola ride to the top of the mountain. The mountain peak houses sightseeing activities, a snack bar, and hiking paths. Under the terms of the Forest Service permit, visitors may hike and sightsee in the area without paying a fee. On August 2, 1998, appellant visited Loon Mountain with several companions. After entering the gondola house at the bottom of the mountain and reading information about the varied activities at the top, each member of appellant's group paid five dollars to ride Loon's gondola to the top of the mountain. Once they arrived at their destination, they saw a sign directing visitors to various activities. Loon did not charge admission fees for any of the activities offered at the mountain's crest. Appellant visited the snack bar and the glacial caves, and saw a live presentation by "the Mountain Man" (who regaled the visitors with tales of "folklore, legend, and local history"). Appellant accessed Loon's various activities on paths, bridges and wooden stairways constructed and maintained by Loon. Appellant fell and suffered her injuries on the way back to the gondola.
