Visitor use
Understand when people visit, where they come from, and how use varies within and across parks. Use visitation patterns and recreation interests to inform staffing, programming, and services.
Learn about visitor use studiesParks, recreation & open space
We study how people use parks, trails, and open spaces to help agencies improve services and communicate the benefits these places bring to communities.
Our services
We work with park agencies, state recreation offices, natural resource managers, nonprofits, land trusts, and planning teams. From individual parks to statewide studies, we combine data science and economics to support planning, management, and investment decisions.
We share findings through reports, maps, concise summaries, and web-based tools you can use in budget and funding requests and public discussions.
Economic impact and contributions
Estimate how visitor spending, park operations, and capital investment contribute to jobs, income, and tax revenue.
