Parks and Recreation

SFA is regularly engaged by parks and recreation departments to provide park master planning consultation, recreation center feasibility studies, financial forecasts, business plans and management systems for community recreation centers, sports parks, and sports tourism destinations.  In today’s difficult economic climate, SFA is hired to provide research based assessment, planning that reduces construction and long term operating expenses, and facility management services. 

From budgeting to park and facility management, SFA offers a host of services to assist you in dealing with your most difficult challenges and new sport and recreation center developments.  These developments frequently include tournament and spectator sports venues such as multi-field outdoor complexes, arenas, competition swimming and diving centers and others. 

SFA also offers services for the evaluation of eco-tourism and non-traditional sports which leverage natural resources and outdoor venues.  When properly planned, good sports tourism facilities can also host festivals, concerts, tradeshows, and other important community events.  In this area SFA offers economic impact studies, feasibility studies, detailed financial forecasts, and management services to assist your community in attracting and maintaining high quality events.
