The NEW Facility Inventory Manager - It's Super Easy. It's Super Fast. And It's Super Valuable to You! The National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA) and Active.com have introduced this online Facility Inventory Manager (FIM) in order to build the first-ever complete inventory of local recreation facilities in the United States. After two years of field research and valuable feedback from park and recreation professionals, we've released FIM to replace the first version released by NRPA and Active.com over a year ago. Now, instead of searching for your agency among a list of nearly 6,000, you can simply log in and manage all your agency, park and facility data from one simple console.
Why is this data being collected? Or better yet, why should you bother adding your agency's facilities?
First and foremost, we'll provide a simple Internet link (button) so that your facility information will be accessible to any citizen searching your agency's Web site. In addition, and for those without Web sites, your information will be accessible through Active.com and its broad distribution network, including Citysearch.com, Yahoo!, USA Today, 35 regional sports magazines and many daily newspapers.
But certainly most valuable, will be the ability for you to access reporting and benchmarking features that allow you to compare your agency and its facilities and operations across a variety of metrics. You'll be able to compare your agency through key variables such as budget size, population served and agency types. Some of the reports you'll be able to access include:
Park acres per 1,000 residents
Percentage of resident and non-resident population served
Facilities per 1,000 residents (e.g. number of softball fields)
Global Recovery Rate
Cost Per Service Hour
And much more...
For those who previously had a user name and password in our old system, simply enter that information during the login process and you'll be taken to your agency's management console. If your agency has never used ActiveParks.org (or FIM), then simply click on ""New Users" and you can get started right away.
