In its annual survey of park professionals conducted by Recreation Management magazine, dog parks continue to rank high for scheduled improvements.

The survey is conducted by the magazine every year and asks park and recreation managers about such topics as budget increases, expected park participation and scheduled projects.

Here's the list of the Top 10 planned projects on average and the percentage of park managers who reported they will be working on these

The Park and Facilities Catalog offers a large selection of ADA picnic tables

Inclusiveness is a major theme today with any park or facility and when it comes to site furnishings, supplying ADA picnic tables is a very simple solution and process.

For one, the Americans with Disabilities Act has provided guidelines to make picnic tables ADA compliant.

The American with Disabilities Act was enacted 1990 by Congress and signed into law by President George H.W. Bush

The legislation was written to help protect people with disabilities from being discriminated against in the workplace.

Portable bleachers can easily be towed from one area to another

When you oversee a facility with a large number of events, especially different types, Portable Bleachers can be a great solution.

That's the case with the Hardy Murphy Coliseum in Ardmore, OK.

This structure holds events, from rodeo to livestock shows, lasting from one day to several days, for 48 weeks out of the year.

That's a busy arena.

Few people know this, but for all the time techies spend indoors in cubicles, the first test Tweet was actually sent from a park.

That's the story told by Twitter founder Jack Dorsey.

In 2000, the young coder lived in San Francisco and had developed a program that let him repost an email to as many people as he wanted.

To try it out, he went for a walk in the famous Golden Gate Park. The park actually covers more than 1000 acres. But what's unusual about the terrain is that the land originally consisted of sand dunes.

There are other weird facts about the park.

For example, bison live there. That's correct, right in the middle of the city. The buffalo graze in a meadow to represent the original herds that
