National Park Service
Managed Properties in the District of Columbia Gao ID: GAO-05-378 April 15, 2005In recent years, several challenges have emerged concerning future recreational opportunities in the nation's capital. These challenges include ensuring that an adequate supply of parkland and open space is available to meet the needs of an increasing resident population and the estimated 20 million annual visitors to the District of Columbia's cultural institutions, historic sites, parks, and open spaces. GAO identified (1) the universe of federal property in the District of Columbia (the District) managed by the National Park Service (NPS); (2) what recreational facilities, including those that are sports related, exist on these properties; (3) the condition of the properties with sports facilities and the sports facilities thereon; (4) new or expanded recreational uses discussed in NPS general management plans; and (5) the methods that could be used to convey management responsibility for NPS-managed properties to the District government. Commenting on the draft report, Interior stated that NPS is addressing properties in the greatest need of repair or rehabilitation in priority order. It also said that it did not have authority to enter into a lease that allows the erection of a structure on its property. However, GAO believes that existing authority allows the NPS director to approve such leases under certain circumstances.
NPS manages 356 federal properties in the District, covering about 6,735 acres of land. Most of the properties are what NPS refers to as circles, squares, and triangles, and are less than 1 acre in size. The second largest total number of properties are parks and parkways, which represent about 93 percent of the total acreage for the 356 properties. NPS officials reported to GAO that 202 properties it manages in the District had various recreational facilities such as park benches, outdoor grills, and picnic tables or shelters. Of the 202 properties, 25 had 205 sports facilities, such as basketball and tennis courts and baseball and softball fields. Most of the properties with sports facilities were in good or fair condition, according to NPS deferred maintenance records, but information on the condition of individual sports facilities is limited. While we did not have criteria to determine the condition of sports facilities, we inspected each of the 205 sports facilities to identify obvious deficiencies, such as cracks in the surface area of tennis and basketball courts. Based on our observations, most of the facilities appeared to be well maintained, but we found some sports facilities had conditions that posed a potential safety risk. NPS has developed four general management plans--two finalized and two in draft. These plans identify some opportunities for new or expanded recreation, such as rehabilitating selected baseball and softball fields and basketball and tennis courts; creating a regional sports complex; and developing new hiking trails. For example, one of the plans calls for the creation of a new trail that connects Forts Dupont, Totten, Stevens, Reno, and others as part of the Fort Circle Parks system. Options available for transferring management responsibilities for NPS properties located in the District to the District city government include transfer of title, transfer of jurisdiction, memoranda of agreement or cooperative agreements, leases, and partnerships with public or private entities. Some of the options would require enacting new legislation while others may be exercised by NPS and the District under existing legislation.

Why GAO Did This Study:
In recent years, several challenges have emerged concerning future
recreational opportunities in the nation‘s capital. These challenges
include ensuring that an adequate supply of parkland and open space is
available to meet the needs of an increasing resident population and
the estimated 20 million annual visitors to the District of Columbia‘s
cultural institutions, historic sites, parks, and open spaces.
GAO identified (1) the universe of federal property in the District of
Columbia (the District) managed by the National Park Service (NPS); (2)
what recreational facilities, including those that are sports related,
exist on these properties; (3) the condition of the properties with
sports facilities and the sports facilities thereon; (4) new or
expanded recreational uses discussed in NPS general management plans;
and (5) the methods that could be used to convey management
responsibility for NPS-managed properties to the District government.
Commenting on the draft report, Interior stated that NPS is addressing
properties in the greatest need of repair or rehabilitation in priority
order. It also said that it did not have authority to enter into a
lease that allows the erection of a structure on its property. However,
GAO believes that existing authority allows the NPS director to approve
such leases under certain circumstances.
What GAO Found:
NPS manages 356 federal properties in the District, covering about
6,735 acres of land. Most of the properties are what NPS refers to as
circles, squares, and triangles, and are less than 1 acre in size. The
second largest total number of properties are parks and parkways, which
represent about 93 percent of the total acreage for the 356 properties.
NPS officials reported to GAO that 202 properties it manages in the
District had various recreational facilities such as park benches,
outdoor grills, and picnic tables or shelters. Of the 202 properties,
25 had 205 sports facilities, such as basketball and tennis courts and
baseball and softball fields.
Most of the properties with sports facilities were in good or fair
condition, according to NPS deferred maintenance records, but
information on the condition of individual sports facilities is
limited. While we did not have criteria to determine the condition of
sports facilities, we inspected each of the 205 sports facilities to
identify obvious deficiencies, such as cracks in the surface area of
tennis and basketball courts. Based on our observations, most of the
facilities appeared to be well maintained, but we found some sports
facilities had conditions that posed a potential safety risk.
NPS has developed four general management plans”two finalized and two
in draft. These plans identify some opportunities for new or expanded
recreation, such as rehabilitating selected baseball and softball
fields and basketball and tennis courts; creating a regional sports
complex; and developing new hiking trails. For example, one of the
plans calls for the creation of a new trail that connects Forts Dupont,
Totten, Stevens, Reno, and others as part of the Fort Circle Parks
system.
Options available for transferring management responsibilities for NPS
properties located in the District to the District city government
include transfer of title, transfer of jurisdiction, memoranda of
agreement or cooperative agreements, leases, and partnerships with
public or private entities. Some of the options would require enacting
new legislation while others may be exercised by NPS and the District
under existing legislation.

Congressional Committees:
Our nation's capital, Washington, D.C., (the District) and the
surrounding area is home to hundreds of cultural institutions, historic
sites, parks, and open spaces that provide cultural and recreational
opportunities for about 560,000 residents and attract an estimated 20
million annual visitors, generating revenues of about $10 billion for
the local economy. Cultural and recreational opportunities are offered
at area sites that include museums, memorials, monuments, forts, civil
war battlefields, wilderness preserves, botanical gardens, community
parks, and the National Mall. Recreational opportunities are also
provided at numerous parks and playgrounds that contain basketball and
tennis courts, baseball and soccer fields, and swimming pools, among
other sport-related facilities. The federal government owns much of the
property in the Washington, D.C. area where these sites reside, most of
which is managed by the Department of the Interior's National Park
Service (NPS). NPS identifies these properties as parks, parkways,
circles, squares, triangles, and hills, among other terms.[Footnote 1]
Consistent with its mission to promote and regulate the use of NPS
properties with the purpose of conserving their scenery and the natural
and historic objects and wildlife therein, and preserving them for
future generations, NPS develops general management plans that detail
what current and future actions are needed for the properties it
manages.
In recent years, several challenges have emerged concerning future
recreational opportunities in the nation's capital. These challenges
include ensuring that an adequate supply of parkland and open space is
available to meet the needs of an increasing resident population, which
according to census reports will grow to about 655,000 by July 2025.
Growing numbers of residents coupled with continued high visitations,
which is expected to double to about 40 million by year 2050, can place
increasing demands on available recreational resources and potentially
contribute to the deterioration of those resources.
In legislative reports accompanying the Consolidated Appropriations
Act, 2004, we were directed to conduct a study of NPS-managed property
in the District and specifically those properties that can be used for
general and sports-related recreation.[Footnote 2] In response to this
direction, and as agreed with your offices, this report discusses (1)
the universe of federal property in the District managed by
NPS;[Footnote 3] (2) what recreational facilities, including those that
are sports-related, exist on these properties; (3) the condition of the
properties with sports facilities as well as the condition of each
sports facility on these properties; (4) new or expanded recreational
uses of NPS-managed properties, as identified in NPS' general
management plans; and (5) the methods NPS can use to convey management
responsibility for its properties to the District government.
To determine the universe of NPS-managed properties in the District, we
analyzed a database of properties managed by NPS and interviewed park
superintendents to ensure its completeness. To facilitate reporting, we
categorized these properties primarily based on NPS' description of
them. To identify which properties have recreational facilities,
including those with sports facilities, we administered a data
collection instrument to the respective six superintendents in NPS'
National Capital Region who manage these properties. To ascertain the
condition of the properties with sports facilities as well as the
condition of each sports facility, we analyzed NPS' Facility Management
Software System (FMSS) reports on the condition of NPS-managed
properties and associated maintenance needs and discussed the reported
condition with NPS officials. We also visited 205 sports facilities to
identify any conditions that could pose a potential safety hazard. We
analyzed NPS general management plans to determine if they identified
any new or expanded recreational uses of the properties. To identify
methods for conveying management responsibility of NPS-managed
properties to the District, we reviewed legislation, regulations,
legislative histories, and other documents as well as interviewed
National Capital Region officials and staff in the Department of the
Interior's Office of the Solicitor.
A more detailed description of our scope and methodology is presented
in appendix I. We performed our work between February 2004 and March
2005 in accordance with generally accepted government auditing
standards.
Results in Brief:
NPS manages 356 federal properties in the District. These properties
cover about 6,735 acres of land and range in size from less than 1 acre
to about 1,750 acres. Among the properties are 200 circles, squares,
and triangles and 95 parks and parkways. Although the circles, squares,
and triangles represent the largest total number of properties, their
size ranges from 0.01 acres to about 7 acres, with an average size of
0.3 acres. Parks and parkways represent the second largest total number
of properties and the greatest percentage of acreage, 93 percent.
The majority of NPS-managed properties in the District have some type
of recreational facilities, including sports facilities. NPS officials
reported to us that out of the 356 properties that it manages in the
District, 202 properties had various recreational facilities such as
park benches, outdoor grills, and picnic tables or shelters. Of the 202
properties, 25 had 205 sports facilities, such as basketball and tennis
courts and baseball and softball fields. The remaining 154 (of the 356)
properties that NPS manages did not have any of the above type
facilities. Regardless of whether they have facilities, NPS officials
believe that the properties they manage provide some form of
recreation.
According to NPS, most of the properties or sections of properties with
sports facilities are in good or fair condition. The property's
condition assessment is determined primarily by the extent of
maintenance required. Information on each sports facility on these
properties is limited primarily because the identified maintenance is
not specific to each sports facility. We did not have criteria to
determine the condition of sports facilities, but we conducted visual
inspections to identify any obvious deficiencies, such as cracks in the
surface of tennis and basketball courts. With some exceptions, most of
the facilities appeared to be well maintained. We did note, however,
some sports facilities with conditions that posed a potential safety
risk to users.
NPS has developed four general management plans--two final and two
draft--covering 10 percent of the 356 properties and about 60 percent
of the total acreage. These plans identify some opportunities for
expanded recreation, such as improving visitor experience by increasing
the number and scope of exhibits; rehabilitating selected baseball and
softball fields and basketball and tennis courts; creating a regional
sports complex; and developing new hiking trails. For example, one of
the plans calls for the creation of a new trail that connects Forts
Dupont, Totten, Stevens, Reno, and others as part of the Fort Circle
Parks system. The plan also calls for rehabilitating selected baseball
and/or softball fields, basketball and tennis courts, picnic areas, and
other facilities.
Several options are available for conveying/transferring management
responsibilities for NPS properties, located in the District, to the
District city government including transfer of title, transfer of
jurisdiction, memoranda of agreement or cooperative agreements, leases,
and partnerships with public or private entities. Some of the options
would require enacting new legislation while others may be exercised by
NPS and the District under existing legislation. The following list
describes each of the options:
* Transfer of title: Title to property allows the owner to possess,
control, and assert all rights over that property. Legislation could be
enacted, transferring title to NPS-managed property to the District.
* Transfer of jurisdiction: Under a transfer of jurisdiction, the
transferor retains ownership of the property while the transferee may
be given authority to administer and maintain (manage) the property.
The federal government has general statutory authority to transfer
jurisdiction over park properties that it owns in the District to the
District government.
* Memoranda of agreement/cooperative agreements: NPS is authorized to
enter into memoranda of agreement and cooperative agreements with the
District to cooperatively manage federal parks. Substantial involvement
is expected between the parties.
* Leases: NPS has authority to lease certain federally owned or
administered property located within the boundaries of park areas. NPS
could lease properties within park boundaries to the District, and the
director of the NPS could determine, in accordance with regulations and
guidance, the conditions of the lease.
* Partnerships between public and private entities: Congress can pass
legislation requiring that a federally owned area be managed under a
partnership that includes, for example, NPS, the District, and private
entities.
In commenting on a draft of this report, the Department of the Interior
made some suggestions for technical clarifications, which we have
incorporated as appropriate. Regarding the condition of the properties,
officials stated that NPS is implementing an asset management plan to
address deficiencies and any needed repairs or rehabilitation will be
addressed in priority order. With regard to the leasing option for
conveying/transferring management responsibilities for NPS properties,
Interior said that NPS does not have the authority to enter into a
lease that allows the erection of a structure on such property. While
we agree that the agency's authority is limited, NPS regulations
authorize a lease to include a provision allowing for the construction
of minor additions, buildings, and other structures as long as it is
(1) necessary for the support of authorized lease activities, (2)
otherwise consistent with the protection and purposes of the park area,
and (3) approved by the director.
Background:
NPS manages the National Park System--over 80 million acres of land in
the nation--comprising a network of natural, historic, and cultural
treasures. NPS' lands are contained in 388 units that include a diverse
array of national parks, military parks, national monuments, national
historic sites, recreation areas, and other designations. Of the 388
units in the National Park System, 19 are located in the District. As
the system's federal manager, NPS is charged with preserving and
protecting these public lands for future generations.
NPS' National Capital Regional Office manages the 19 units in the
District as well as other units in surrounding areas in Maryland and
Virginia. The National Capital Region has six management units,
referred to by NPS as superintendencies, that manages properties in the
District. These management units are (1) National Capital Parks-Central
(Central),[Footnote 4] (2) National Capital Parks-East (East), (3) Rock
Creek Park (Rock Creek), (4) White House-President's Park (White
House), (5) George Washington Memorial Parkway (GW Parkway), and (6)
Chesapeake & Ohio Canal National Historic Park (C&O Canal)--each with a
superintendent/director who is responsible for managing properties
within his/her jurisdiction. Figure 1 depicts examples of NPS-managed
properties in the District, and figure 2 depicts the geographic areas
covered by the National Capital Region management units.

[End of figure]
For the last several decades, GAO, the Department of the Interior's
Inspector General, and Interior itself has reported that NPS did not
have an accurate inventory of existing assets, or a reliable estimate
of deferred maintenance costs for these assets. In an effort to more
effectively manage its assets NPS has developed a new asset management
process to enable the agency to have a reliable inventory of its assets
and process for reporting on the condition of those assets. The
cornerstone of the new asset management process is the Facility
Management Software System (FMSS) that allows park, regional office, or
NPS headquarters managers to track when, what, and how much maintenance
and related costs has been directed at each specific asset. When fully
developed and implemented, the new system will, for the first time,
enable the agency to have a (1) reliable inventory of its assets, (2)
process for reporting on the condition of the assets in its inventory,
and (3) consistent, system-wide methodology for estimating the deferred
maintenance costs for its assets. Depending on the extent of deferred
maintenance required, NPS ranks the assets in FMSS as being in good,
fair, poor, or serious condition. Essentially, the lower the estimated
deferred maintenance costs, the better the condition of the assets,
including properties.
In addition, NPS develops general management plans for its units for
the purpose of making proactive decisions that address future
opportunities at NPS properties, including planning for visitor use,
managing the natural and cultural resources on properties, and
developing properties. Accordingly, these plans may identify new or
expanded recreational opportunities to enhance visitors' experience.
NPS has developed four general management plans--two final and two
draft--that encompass some of the properties it manages in the
District. However, if it is determined that federal ownership or
management of the assets would be better served elsewhere, either the
Congress or NPS can take the necessary action, for example, by
transferring title or jurisdiction, or through memoranda of agreement,
cooperative agreements, or leases.
NPS Manages 356 Properties in the District:
NPS manages 356 federally owned properties in the District covering
about 6,735 acres. These properties vary by type and size. Properties
in the circles, squares, and triangles category represent the greatest
number of NPS-managed properties. Properties in the parks and parkways
category comprise the greatest number of the total acres, about 93
percent, managed by NPS. The majority of all NPS-managed properties in
the District, however, are less than 1 acre. Appendix II provides
additional descriptive information on the 356 NPS-managed properties in
the District.
NPS Manages a Diverse Array of Properties in the District:
NPS manages a diverse array of properties in the District that vary by
types and include properties, such as parks, parkways, and triangles.
The properties also vary in size, ranging from less than 1 acre to
about 1,750 acres. NPS does not classify the properties it manages by
categories, nor does it use a standard definition for the types of
properties it manages. Nevertheless, NPS typically uses terms that are
descriptive of the properties. For example, NPS refers to a triangular-
shaped property as a "triangle" and a circular-shaped property as a
"circle." For ease in reporting, we grouped NPS-managed properties into
the following four categories: (1) park and parkways; (2) circles,
squares, and triangles; (3) Mall/Washington Monument and grounds; and
(4) other.[Footnote 5] Table 1 shows the number of properties in the
four categories.
Table 1: Number of NPS-Managed Properties by Category:

[End of table]
The Majority of NPS-Managed Properties Are in the Circles, Squares, and
Triangles Category:
The majority of the 356 NPS-managed properties in the District are in
the circles, squares, and triangles category, representing about 60
percent of the total properties that NPS manages in the District.
Circles, squares, and triangles range in size from 0.01 acres to about
7 acres, with an average size of 0.3 acres. Triangles represent the
largest number of properties (178 of the 200 properties) in this
category and are managed by the Central, East, and Rock Creek
management units. The remaining properties consist of 15 circles and 7
squares. A recent National Capital Planning Commission report refers to
the circles, squares, and triangles as designed landscape parks that
include fountains, monuments, memorials, and other civic art features.
Examples include Dupont Circle, Thomas Circle, Logan Circle, Farragut
Square, McPherson Square, and Bolivar Triangle. Figure 3 shows the
percent of NPS-managed properties by category. Figure 4 shows the
number of properties by component of the circles, squares, and
triangles category. Appendix III provides additional information on
properties in the circles, squares, and triangles category.

The Majority of the Acreage of NPS-Managed Property Is in the Parks and
Parkways Category:
There are 95 properties in the parks and parkways category, which
contain about 6,246, or 93 percent, of the total acres of NPS-managed
property in the District. Figure 5 shows the percentage of the NPS-
managed property acres, by category.

[End of figure]
Three properties--Rock Creek Park, Piney Branch Parkway, and Anacostia
Park--contain about 50 percent of the acres associated with properties
in this category. The Central, East, and Rock Creek management units
manage about 99 percent of the properties and 93 percent of the total
acreage in the parks and parkways category. Figure 6 shows the acreage
of properties in the parks and parkways category managed by the
National Capital Region management units.

[End of figure]
Most NPS-Managed Properties Are Less Than 1 Acre in Size:
The majority of the NPS-managed properties are less than 1 acre in
size. Of the 356 properties in the District, 242, or about 68 percent,
are less than 1 acre in size. Of these, 108 properties are less than
one-tenth of an acre. Most of the properties less than 1 acre are
managed by the Central and East management units. The most common types
of properties less than 1 acre are triangles, center parking, and curb
parking. Figure 7 shows the percentage and number of NPS-managed
properties by size.

[End of figure]
NPS-Managed Properties Contain Various Recreational Facilities,
Including Sports Facilities:
The majority of NPS-managed properties in the District have some type
of recreational facilities, including sports facilities. To identify
what recreational facilities are available on the 356 NPS-managed
properties in the District, we asked NPS officials to identify the (1)
types of recreational facilities on the properties, such as park
benches, outdoor grills, playgrounds, and picnic tables, or shelters
and (2) sports-related facilities, such as basketball and tennis courts
and baseball and softball fields. NPS officials reported that 202
properties had some type of recreational facility, including 25
properties that had 205 sports facilities. The remaining 154 (of the
356) properties did not have either of the above type facilities.
Regardless of whether they have facilities, NPS officials believe that
the properties they manage provide some form of recreation. Appendix IV
provides information on the properties without either type of
recreation facilities.
NPS-Managed Properties Provide a Variety of Recreational Facilities:
About 60 percent of the NPS-managed properties in the District have
some type of recreational facility, including sports facilities. Of the
356 properties, 22 had both sports facilities and other types of
recreational facilities, 177 had recreational facilities, exclusive of
sports facilities, and 3 had sports facilities only. Table 2 shows the
number of properties with the specific type of recreational facilities,
exclusive of sports facilities.

There Are 205 Sports-Related Facilities on 25 NPS-Managed Properties in
the District:
Twenty-five of the 356 properties have a total of 205 sports
facilities, such as tennis courts or softball and baseball fields.
About 92 percent of the sports facilities are located on properties in
the parks and parkways category, about 6 percent in the Mall/Washington
Monument and grounds category, and about 1 percent each in the circles,
squares, and triangles and other categories. Figure 8 shows by
category, the number of properties containing sports facilities and the
total number of sports facilities on those properties.

[End of figure]
As table 3 shows, 109, or 53 percent, of the 205 sports facilities are
tennis and racquetball courts and multiple-use fields. Multiple-use
fields are generally areas that can be used to play various sports,
such as soccer, football, softball, and baseball. Tennis and
racquetball courts total 73, or 36 percent, of the sports facilities,
whereas multiple-use fields total 36, or 18 percent. The tennis and
racquetball courts are located at 7 different NPS-managed properties
while the multiple-use fields are found at 14 different properties.
Most of the sports facilities are managed by NPS' Central, East, and
Rock Creek management units. Together these management units managed
approximately 98 percent of the total sport facilities. Appendix V
provides additional information on properties with sports facilities.

NPS Rated Most Properties or Major Sections of Properties with Sports
Facilities in Good or Fair Condition:
According to NPS assessments and information reported in its FMSS
database, most NPS-managed properties with sports facilities are in
good or fair condition. Information on the condition of each sports
facility is generally not identifiable in FMSS and NPS does not have
clear criteria to systematically assess sports facility condition.
However, during visual inspections, while most properties seem to be
well maintained, we identified some sports facilities with deficiencies
that pose a potential safety hazard.
Most Properties or Major Sections of Properties with Sports Facilities
Are in Good or Fair Condition:
We asked NPS to provide us with condition assessments recorded in FMSS
for each of the 25 properties with sports facilities. FMSS did not
provide an assessment of one property's condition due to security
issues.[Footnote 6] Furthermore, some properties were grouped together
into one assessment and other properties received more than one
assessment. As a result, NPS provided 22 assessments covering the
remaining 24 properties. Figure 9 shows the number of assessments and
condition for properties with sports facilities. Appendix VI provides
additional information on the condition assessments of properties with
sports facilities.
Figure 9: Number of Assessments and Condition for Properties with
Sports Facilities:
[See PDF for image]
[End of figure]
Information on the Condition of Individual Sports Facilities Is
Limited:
We reviewed the documentation supporting the deferred maintenance
associated with each of the 24 properties for which we were provided
assessments to ascertain if it provided data that could be used to
identify the condition of each sports facility. However, this
information was of limited use in identifying sports facilities'
conditions. For example, the information, for the most part, discussed
such deferred maintenance as repairing or refurbishing landscapes and
structures; replacing pavement, concrete curbing, picnic tables, and
seawalls; and repainting fences, posts, and benches. This information
was not descriptive enough to determine whether the maintenance
pertained to the sports facilities or other parts of the property.
However, NPS collectively assessed the athletic fields at West Potomac
Park, which comprise 8 multiple-use fields, 11 volleyball courts, and
13 baseball fields, to be in poor condition. According to NPS
officials, the poor condition assigned to the athletic field's was due
primarily to the deferred maintenance needed for the park's volleyball
courts and multiple-use fields, and not the baseball fields, which are
in good condition. NPS identified about $1 million in deferred
maintenance costs for refurbishing the volleyball courts, reseeding and
sodding the fields, pruning trees, painting fencing, repairing
backstops, replacing sidewalk pavement, and upgrading the sewage
system. Even in this case, the condition of each sports facility could
not be determined, since the assessment was done for the collective
group of athletic fields.
In reviewing each property's deferred maintenance documentation, we
also determined that the condition of the property or section of
property may not be indicative of the condition of any sports facility
on the property. For example, while NPS assessed the Fort Reno Park
property as being in good condition, 84 percent of the total deferred
maintenance needs for this property were directly related to
refurbishing the multiple-use athletic fields thereon. Because such a
large percentage of the deferred maintenance costs involve refurbishing
the athletic fields, it is likely that the condition of the fields is
worse than what the assessment showed for the property overall.
It should also be noted that NPS assessments do not include determining
the condition of structures, such as boat ramps, horse stables, ice and
roller skating rinks, and roadways because criteria to assess these
structures have not been finalized for use by the park units. As
previously identified in table 3, several of the sports facilities on
the NPS-managed properties have these structures, again supporting the
fact that limited information is available on the condition of sports
facilities.
Some Sports Facilities Posed Potential Safety Hazards:
We did not have criteria to judge the condition of the sports
facilities. However, since the NPS' information was of limited value in
determining their condition, we visually inspected each of the 205
sports facilities to look for obvious deficiencies, such as cracks in
the surface of tennis and basketball courts, fallen or missing
basketball posts and baskets, and broken backstops around
baseball/softball fields. We did note some of these deficiencies, but
for the most part, the facilities did not have these conditions and
appeared to be well maintained. Figure 10 shows an example of
properties that appear to be well maintained. In contrast, figure 11
shows an example of a facility with a cracked surface area.

users. See figures 12 through 17 for some examples of these safety
hazards.

NPS General Management Plans Identify Opportunities for Some Expanded
Recreational Uses of NPS-Managed Properties in the District:
Current NPS general management plans identify opportunities for some
expanded recreational uses, such as improving visitor experience by
increasing the number and scope of exhibits; creating a regional sports
complex; rehabilitating selected baseball/softball fields and
basketball and tennis courts; and creating new hiking trails. NPS has
developed four general management plans--two final and two drafts--that
encompass 37 of the 356 properties and 4,196 of the 6,735 acres it
manages in the District. Appendix VII shows additional information on
the properties covered by the four general management plans.
The two finalized general management plans are for properties that
encompass the Fort Circle Parks and the Mary McLeod Bethune Council
House National Historic Site. The following are the new or expanded
recreational opportunities identified in the final plans:
Fort Circle Parks: The primary new recreational opportunity is the
creation of a new walking trail that connects most of the forts
encompassing the Fort Circle Parks system. These include Forts Dupont,
Totten, Stevens, Stanton, Davis, and Reno. The plan also calls for
developing a small year-round visitor contact facility near Fort
Stevens--where the only battle of the Civil War was fought in the
District--to provide a focal point for the Fort Circle Parks system.
The facility will offer orientation and interpretation and serve as the
start of a driving tour of the forts. In terms of improving existing
facilities, the plan calls for rehabilitating selected
baseball/softball fields, basketball and tennis courts, picnic areas,
and other facilities. In addition, the activity center at Fort Dupont
would be developed into an education center to focus on school and
community groups offering cultural, historical, natural, and
environmental programming.
Mary McLeod Bethune Council House National Historic Site: The Mary
McLeod Bethune Council House National Historic Site's plan focuses
solely on developing interpretive exhibits on the house and the life of
Mary McLeod Bethune, who founded the National Council of Negro Women.
The two draft plans are for properties in (1) Rock Creek Park and the
Rock Creek and Potomac Parkways and (2) Anacostia Park. The following
are the new or expanded recreational opportunities identified in the
final plans and the plan's preferred alternative, if so designated:
Rock Creek Park and the Rock Creek and Potomac Parkway: The 2003 draft
Rock Creek Park and the Rock Creek and Potomac Parkway's plan considers
closing off the upper part of Beach Drive--a major thoroughfare through
the park--during nonrush hours to make it available for nonmotorized
recreational uses such as biking, rollerblading, jogging, and walking.
The plan also proposes upgrades of existing foot and bridal trails to
enhance the visitor's experience while biking, jogging, walking, or
horseback riding through designated areas of the park. NPS estimates
that this plan will be finalized in the spring of 2005.
Anacostia Park: The Anacostia Park plan contains two alternatives,
neither of which was identified as the preferred alternative. The first
alternative focuses on enhancement and expansion of current sports
facilities, with an emphasis on neighborhood recreation. This
alternative proposes a small area at Poplar Point to be designated as a
grand waterfront park area. The second alternative proposes
enhancements to current sports facilities and natural resources and
emphasizes large-scale sports facilities to support regional sporting
events. Both alternatives propose access to and additional boating
facilities on the Anacostia waterfront. NPS hopes to release this plan
to the public for comment in the summer of 2005.
Options Available for NPS Property To Be Used or Managed by the
District for Recreational Purposes:
There are a number of ways for NPS property to be made available to the
District for recreational purposes, including through a transfer of
title, transfer of jurisdiction, memoranda of agreement or cooperative
agreements, partnerships of public and private entities, and leases. As
discussed below, some of these options may be implemented by NPS and
the District under existing legislation; others would require enactment
of new legislation.
Transfer of Title:
In general, title to property allows the owner to possess, control, and
assert all rights over that property.
Legislation could be enacted, transferring title or requiring such
transfer of NPS property to the District.[Footnote 7] For example, at
least two federal laws specifically direct the Department of the
Interior to transfer title to land, under NPS jurisdiction, from the
federal government to the District. Public Law No. 99-581, enacted in
1986, directed the Secretary of the Interior to convey title to the
Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium building to the District. Also, in
accordance with the law, the underlying land and associated parking
facilities were leased to the District government. The National
Children's Island Act of 1995 directed the Secretary of the Interior to
transfer title to portions of two islands in Anacostia Park (Heritage
Island and the southern portion of Kingman Island) to the
District.[Footnote 8] The purpose was to facilitate the construction,
development, and operation of National Children's Island, envisioned as
a cultural, educational, and family-oriented park.[Footnote 9]
Transfer of Jurisdiction:
Under a transfer of jurisdiction between the federal government and the
District, the transferor retains ownership of the property while the
transferee may be given authority to administer and maintain (manage)
the property.
The federal government has general statutory authority to transfer
jurisdiction over park properties that it owns in the District to the
District government.[Footnote 10] Prior to enactment of this authority
in 1932, congressional action was required for each transfer between
the federal government and the District.[Footnote 11] According to a
report of the House Committee on Public Buildings and Grounds, the
purpose of the law was to obviate the need for the Congress to approve
each exchange between the federal government and the District, thereby
lessening the work of the Congress and resulting in a savings of public
funds.[Footnote 12]
Before NPS transfers jurisdiction over a District property, the
transfer must be recommended by the National Capital Planning
Commission (Commission)--the central federal planning agency for the
federal government in the National Capital.[Footnote 13] The Commission
may examine a number of factors in determining whether to recommend a
transfer--including whether the proposal is generally reasonable and
justified, consistent with the Commission's Comprehensive Plan, and/or
raises any environmental, historical preservation, or other impact
concerns. The Commission may also examine public comments prior to its
final decision, which may result in approval, approval with
stipulations, or disapproval.
After a transfer is approved and completed, District authorities are
required to report the transfer and associated agreements to the
Congress.[Footnote 14] Official city maps may be changed and records
updated after an official exchange of letters of transfer and
acceptance between the parties.[Footnote 15]
Some examples[Footnote 16] of jurisdictional transfers from the federal
government to the District government include properties used or to be
used for the following:
* urban renewal development,
* highways,
* correctional facilities,
* recreation, and:
* performing arts.
Memoranda of Agreement/Cooperative Agreements:
Memoranda of agreement or cooperative agreements are legal instruments
that establish a relationship between a federal agency and a state or
local government, or other recipient. They are used to transfer a thing
of value in carrying out a public purpose of support or stimulation.
Substantial involvement is expected between the parties.[Footnote 17]
A 1949 agreement between NPS and the District of Columbia Recreation
Board[Footnote 18] implements authority provided in Public Law No. 77-
534 (1942) for making federal lands and recreational facilities located
in the District, including those of NPS, available to the District of
Columbia Recreation Board to conduct its recreation programs.[Footnote
19] The agreement lists a number of parks or park areas that may be
used by the District of Columbia Recreation Board to carry out various
recreation activities, through concession contracts or otherwise,
including golf courses in Anacostia Park and Rock Creek Park, tennis
courts in East Potomac Park and Rock Creek Park, and boating at West
Potomac Park, East Potomac Park, and Columbia Island.
NPS is authorized by several statutes to enter into cooperative
agreements with the District for management of federal parks. For
example, where a federal park is located adjacent to or near a state or
local park, and cooperative management would be more efficient, NPS may
enter into a cooperative agreement with the state or local government
agency in order to cooperatively manage the parks and provide or
acquire goods and services.[Footnote 20] NPS would continue to retain
administrative responsibilities over the park, as the law prohibits the
transfer of these responsibilities. Another provision of law authorizes
NPS to enter into cooperative agreements with and transfer appropriated
funds to state and local governments, among other entities, for the
public purpose of carrying out NPS programs.[Footnote 21]
Leases:
A lease is a written contract through which use and possession of
property is granted to a person for a specified period of
time.[Footnote 22]
NPS has authority to lease certain federally owned or administered
property located within the boundaries of park areas.[Footnote 23] For
example, NPS issued a lease to the Friends of Fort Dupont to manage an
ice rink at Fort Dupont Park, a federally owned park located in the
District. Regulations implementing NPS leasing authority are set out at
36 C.F.R. part 18. The regulations describe, among other things, the
determinations NPS must make before leasing property, procedures for
awarding leases, and required lease terms and conditions. Unless
otherwise authorized by law, a lease may not authorize the lessee to
engage in activities that must be authorized through a concession
contract, commercial use authorization, or similar instrument. Proposed
lease activities are subject to authorization under a concession
contract or commercial use authorization if the director of NPS
determines, in accordance with regulations and guidance, that the
proposed activities meet applicable requirements for issuance of such
instruments.[Footnote 24]
Partnership:
A partnership is usually defined as a type of cooperative business
relationship; however, cooperative efforts in a public project may also
be referred to as a partnership and can be established through
legislation. For example, in an effort to coordinate government and
private sector activities in the development and implementation of an
integrated resource management plan for certain Boston Harbor islands,
Congress established the Boston Harbor Islands National Recreation
Area, administered by a partnership including representatives from NPS,
the U.S. Coast Guard, state and local government offices, and various
private sector organizations.[Footnote 25] The law established the
framework for administration of the area, parameters for operation of
and membership in the partnership, minimum requirements for the
management plan to be submitted to Interior, and establishment of an
advisory council to represent interested groups and make
recommendations to the partnership.[Footnote 26] Similarly, NPS
properties in the District may be identified with recreational
potential that could be maximized through such partnerships.
Agency Comments and Our Response:
We provided the Department of the Interior with a draft of this report
for review and comment. The department provided written comments that
are included in appendix VIII. The department provided us with some
comments with technical clarifications, which we have incorporated as
appropriate. In addressing the condition of properties, the department
stated that NPS is diligently implementing an asset management plan
that addresses deficiencies and that needed repair and rehabilitation
of properties are evaluated and prioritized against the needs of the
entire national park system. Projects of greatest need are undertaken
in priority order, focusing on critical health and safety and resource
protection issues. In addition, the department said that NPS does not
have the authority to enter into a lease that allows erection of a
structure on such property. While we agree that the agency's authority
is limited, NPS regulations authorize a lease to include a provision
allowing for the construction of minor additions, buildings, and other
structures as long as it is (1) necessary for the support of authorized
lease activities, (2) otherwise consistent with the protection and
purposes of the park area, and (3) approved by the director.
We will send copies of this report to interested congressional
committees; the Secretary of the Interior; and other interested
parties. We will also make copies available to others upon request. In
addition, the report will be available at no charge on the GAO Web site
at [Hyperlink, http://www.gao.gov].

Appendixes:
Appendix I: Scope and Methodology:
Our study included all federally owned properties that were managed by
the National Park Service (NPS) in Washington, D.C., (the District).
These properties are under the jurisdiction of NPS' National Capital
Region.
To determine the universe of properties managed by NPS in the District,
we obtained an electronic file from the National Capital Region that
contained all of the properties (reservations) that it manages. Working
with NPS officials, we excluded properties outside of the District.
This resulted in identifying a universe of 356 properties. To
facilitate our analysis and reporting, we grouped the NPS-managed
properties into four categories, primarily based on their description
as provided on NPS' Reservation List. (NPS does not have a list of the
types of properties under its jurisdiction, nor does it have standard
definitions for the properties it manages.) The four categories we used
were park and parkways; circles, squares, and triangles;
Mall/Washington Monument and grounds; and other. The park and parkways
category consists of properties described on NPS' Reservation List as
park, parkway, or combination thereof. Also in this category are
several forts and batteries, which are components of Fort Circle Parks.
Similarly, the circles, squares, and triangles category includes
properties referred to on the Reservation List as physical structures,
i.e., circles, squares, or triangles. The Mall and Washington Monument
and grounds contain properties identified on the Reservation List as
being connected with the Mall, the Washington Monument, or its grounds.
Finally, the "other" category consists of various properties described
on the Reservation List, as curb/center parking, cemeteries, islands,
hills, historical sites, plazas, memorials, annexes, and fountains. We
also included in this category Ford's Theatre and the Mary McLeod
Bethune Council House. Appendix II provides a complete listing of the
NPS-managed properties in the District and their respective categories.
To identify the recreational and sports-related facilities on NPS-
managed properties, we developed a data collection instrument (DCI)
that we distributed to NPS National Capital Region officials. The DCI
contained questions about the existence of recreation facilities,
including the number of sports-related facilities; plans for future
facilities; and other information about each of the NPS-managed
properties. To ensure that data gathered from the DCI were valid and
reliable, we performed a number of steps. First, we conducted pretests
with National Capital Region officials in two of its management units
and revised the DCI in accordance with these pretest results. We next
asked the region's six management units (superintendencies or
directors) that have management responsibility for their respective
properties to complete one DCI for each of the 356 properties under
their respective jurisdiction. We received completed DCIs for 100
percent of the properties. We then reviewed the completed DCIs for
obvious errors, such as missing responses to questions and
inconsistencies in the answers provided. We also compared the responses
with the knowledge we gained from visiting or researching the
properties. In addition, we conducted follow-up interviews with region
officials to clarify or correct any errors. The data from the hard copy
DCIs were key-punched into an electronic data file and checked for
accuracy. We used this data file for our analysis. We performed all
analysis presented in this report through programming in statistical
software, and both the programming and the results were checked for
accuracy. We identified various types of recreational facilities,
including sports facilities, on the properties. To verify the accuracy
of the NPS-reported data, we visited each of the properties that NPS
identified as having sports facilities or a combination of sports
facilities and other facilities. During these visits, we determined if
the property contained the facilities reported to us in the DCI. For
the most part, we found that the reported number of facilities on these
25 properties was comparable. However, we found four tennis courts that
had not been reported to us--one on a property in East Potomac Park and
three in Rock Creek Park. NPS officials acknowledged that they had made
a mistake in not reporting these facilities on the DCI. Accordingly, we
revised our database to include these four facilities.
To determine the condition of the properties with sports facilities as
well as the condition of the sports facilities themselves, we relied on
information in NPS' Facility Management Software System (FMSS) and
interviews with NPS officials. FMSS is a system that identifies the
condition of assets, including properties, based on the asset's
deferred maintenance costs relative to its replacement value. Thus, the
higher the deferred maintenance costs, the worse the condition of the
asset. Based on NPS criteria, the condition of properties are assessed
as good, fair, poor, or serious. We asked NPS to provide FMSS data for
each of the 25 properties with sports facilities. NPS provided
assessments on the condition of 24 of the 25 properties. It did not
provide information on one property due to security issues.[Footnote
27] We then collected the records in support of the estimated deferred
maintenance costs for each of the 24 properties to ascertain if the
records contained specific information relative to the condition of the
sports facilities on the properties. On the basis of our review, we
determined that the maintenance records did not provide sufficient
detail to determine the condition of the sports facilities. Since FMSS
did not provide sufficient information to determine the condition of
the sports facilities, we inspected these facilities to identify any
deficiencies, such as cracks in the surface of tennis and basketball
courts. For the most part, these facilities appeared to be well
maintained. However, we did find some facilities that required
maintenance to prevent potential safety hazards.
To determine any new or expanded recreational use proposed for NPS-
managed properties in general management plans, we asked NPS to
identify the plans it had developed for properties that it manages in
the District. We were provided final general management plans for Mary
McLeod Bethune Council House National Historic Site, the Fort Circle
Parks[Footnote 28] and draft management plans for (1) Rock Creek Park
and the Rock Creek Park and Potomac Parkway and (2) Anacostia Park. We
reviewed each of these plans to ascertain the specifics regarding new
or expanded recreational uses for the properties. We also spoke with
NPS officials to identify the properties covered under each plan and to
obtain information regarding any updates to these plans and their
respective completion dates. We were also provided a general plan for
the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park. However, this
plan was developed in 1976 and prior to the guidance for what is to be
included in a general management plan. Further, it was outdated per
NPS' guidance that general management plans should not exceed 15 years.
Thus, we did not include this plan in our analysis.
Finally, to identify methods for conveying management responsibility of
NPS-managed properties to the District, we reviewed legislation,
regulations, legislative histories, and other documents in addition to
interviewing NPS officials in the Department of the Interior's
Solicitor's Office and NPS' National Capital Region.

encompass several properties. NPS provided assessments covering 24 of
the 25 properties with sports facilities. An assessment was not
provided for one property due to security reasons.[Footnote 29] Table 8
provides information on the results of these assessments.

Appendix VIII: Comments from the National Park Service:
United States Department of the Interior:
OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY:
Washington, D.C. 20240:
APR 13 2005:
Robin M. Nazzaro:
Director, Natural Resources and Environment:
U.S. Government Accountability Office:
441 G Street, N.W.:
Washington, D.C. 20548:
Dear Ms. Nazzaro:
Thank you for providing the Department of Interior the opportunity to
review and comment on the draft U.S. Government Accountability Office
report entitled "National Park Service: Managed Properties in the
District of Columbia" (GAO-05-378).
Specific comments are listed in the enclosure. If you have any further
questions, please contact Joseph Lawler, Regional Director, National
Capital Region, at 202-619-7000.
Sincerely,
Signed for:
Craig Manson:
Assistant Secretary for Fish and Wildlife and Parks:
Enclosure:
Department of the Interior Comments on the GAO Draft Report entitled,
"National Park Service: Managed Properties in the District of Columbia"
(GAO-05-378):
Superintendents and their staff from National Capital Parks-Central,
National Capital Parks-East, and Rock Creek Park; the Associate
Regional Director for Lands, Resources, and Planning; and the Associate
Regional Director for Administration have reviewed the above titled
draft document and offer the following comments.
National Capital Parks-East:
Page 11, It seems appropriate to include the Fort Circle Parks along
with Rock Creek Park, Piney Branch Parkway, and Anacostia Park as
examples of the "Parks & Parkways" category. Considering the size, the
extent, the prominence, as well as the wide array of significant
historic, natural, and recreational resources, I think the list and pie
charts on this page should include the Fort Circle Parks.
The photos on pages 19 through 27, with the captions for each on
separate pages are a little confusing.
Page 18, Before the last paragraph, please insert the following:
The National Park Service is diligently implementing an effective asset
management plan that addresses these deficiencies. The necessary repair
or rehabilitation of the facilities are evaluated and prioritized
against the needs of the entire national park system. The NPS
undertakes projects of greatest need in priority order, focusing on
critical health and safety and critical resource protection issues.
Page 22, Figure 14: There are no "boat rentals" in Anacostia Park. It's
not clear where the photos were taken--at one of the boat clubs or at
the concession-operated marinas. The photos of the potential safety
hazards may also be misleading, considering the docks at the four
private Anacostia Boat Clubs are not public, and belong to the clubs.
(However, during our safety inspections at the clubs, any problems
observed on the docks are reported along with necessary corrective
actions.) Moreover, of the three concession-operated marinas, one is
currently closed to the public (Anacostia Marina) and a number of
problems there require correction before it's reopened for public use.
In any event, we would like to know the specific location of the
problems so that we can get the appropriate corrective actions underway.
Page 25, Figure 17: The wrong image is portrayed when the report
includes a photo of a currently closed section of the park with an old
table and has the caption "poorly maintained picnic table...". This
area, including the dilapidated table, is currently closed.
Lands, Resources, and Planning:
Page 33, Under the section "Leases" please add "The National Park
Service does not have the authority to enter into a Lease which would
result in the erection of a structure on NPS property."
The following are GAO's comments on the Department of the Interior's
letter dated April 13, 2005.
GAO Comments:
1. Fort Circle Parks, Rock Creek Park, Piney Branch Parkway, and
Anacostia Park are already included in the "park and parkways"
category. A more detailed description concerning the composition of the
park and parkways category can be found in appendix I.
2. When formatted, the captions track with their perspective photos.
3. We removed the reference to boat rentals and included information
that identifies the specific property so that it could be more readily
identified.
4. We clarified the caption at the bottom of the photos to explain that
the recreational facilities have not been in use since the property has
been closed to the public.

FOOTNOTES
[1] NPS does not categorize the properties it manages in the District
using specific terms and definitions for each type of property.
According to NPS officials, the terms associated with some of the
properties are based on their shape, (e.g., circles, squares, and
triangles). The term "hill," such as used for the property, Barnard
Hill, is based on topography, and "parkway" is a roadway in a park-like
setting. Some terms for properties are based on the properties'
location. For example "curb parking" is a strip of property near the
curb of a street and "center parking" is the median strip in the
roadway.

[3] The District government manages about 350 federal properties, which
are not included in this report.
[4] The name for the National Capital Parks-Central Management Unit has
been changed to National Mall & Memorial Parks, effective March 9,
2005.
[5] Properties in the "other" category include curb and center parking,
hills, and islands.
[6] This includes President's Park, White House grounds, and other
nearby areas.
[7] NPS has general authority to sell and convey title to property
located in the District that is under its jurisdiction. However, this
authority applies to property "which may be no longer needed for public
purposes" and thus would not apply to situations in which title to the
property is being transferred precisely for the purpose of making it
available to the public--in this case for recreation. 40 U.S.C. §
8735(a), D.C. Code § 10-804.
[8] Pub. L. No. 104-163, 110 Stat. 1416 (1996). Before enactment of the
National Children's Island Act, NPS had attempted to facilitate
construction of the project by transferring jurisdiction over the
islands to the District. The action was challenged in court, alleging
that NPS should have prepared an environmental analysis, prior to the
transfer, in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of
1969 (NEPA), Pub. L. No. 91-190, 83 Stat. 852 (1970), and implementing
regulations. The court upheld the challenge and ordered NPS to comply
with NEPA. Anacostia Watershed Society v. Babbitt, 871 F. Supp. 475
(D.D.C. 1994). In a subsequent ruling, the court clarified that its
earlier ruling did not rescind the jurisdictional transfer and that the
transfer would remain in effect pending completion of NPS's
environmental analysis. Anacostia Watershed Society v. Babbitt, 875 F.
Supp. 1 (D.D.C. 1995). Subsequently, the National Children's Island Act
(Pub. L. No. 104-163 (1996)) required the transfer of title to the
property to the District, and declared the previous transfer of
jurisdiction to be null and void. The Children's Island Act also
required the District to comply with NEPA prior to construction.
[9] The project was the subject of litigation in the 1990s and was
halted by the District of Columbia Financial Control Board in 1998.
Subsequently, an alternative project was proposed.
[10] 40 U.S.C. § 8124. Similarly, under this provision, the District
may transfer jurisdiction over properties it owns to the federal
government. Section 8124 provides: "Federal and District of Columbia
authorities administering properties in the District that are owned by
the Federal Government or by the District may transfer jurisdiction
over any part of the property among or between themselves for purposes
of administration and maintenance under conditions the parties agree
on." The District of Columbia Code contains a provision authorizing the
transfer of jurisdiction over property between the United States and
the District that mirrors federal law. See D.C. Code Ann. § 10-111.
