Excerpt from Federal Surplus Real Property Program for State and Local Parks and Recreation: Fiscal Years 1991 and 1992
The Surplus Federal real-property Program provides great opportunities for communities to acquire land and facilities for public parks and recreation purposes. Land once used for military or other Federal purposes can be transferred through the National Park Service (nps) to local communities and state agencies at no cost, provided the properties are to be used for parks and recreation.
The Surplus Property Program helps serve people of all ages close to where they live. Properties are developed for active recreation and sports, or are used for low-intensity recreation such as hiking and picnicking. Others are valued as nature preserves and open space. Some projects have the added recreational benefit of being adjacent to existing public recreation land or providing public access to important natural features, such as a river, lake shore or an ocean coastline. Areas ranging from town squares, urban garden ing sites and neighborhood parks, to beaches, forests, river and lake fronts, mountains and desert scrublands are preserved.
