Highlights of GAO-05-378, a report to congressional committees: 

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

[End of table]

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.

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:

[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.

Appendix II: Information on the 356 NPS-Managed Properties in the 
District: 

This appendix provides information on the 356 NPS-managed properties in
