1 SAN FRANCISCO PARK EVALUATION PROGRAM PES15 EVALUATION FORM FY2015 Generic Park Evaluation Form June 26, 2014

2 List of Features Athletic Fields Buildings & General Amenities Children s Play Areas Dog Play Areas Greenspace Hardscape Lawns Ornamental Beds Outdoor Courts Restrooms Table Seating Areas Trees How to Use this Evaluation Form When you find a reportable issue, check off the appropriate checkbox ( ) in the s column of the form. Next to that checkbox, write in the exact location of the issue (in the green-shaded area). Next to the location, describe the issue as if you were preparing a work order request (in the white-shaded area). If you find more than issue, use multiple checkboxes. If you find the same issue multiple times, note the location and description in the comments area at the bottom of the Feature. At the end of your evaluation, review the entire form. If there were no s for any given Element, check off its none of the above checkbox. You may believe that an Element is not applicable to your site. If the Element has a not at this site checkbox, go ahead and check it off. If the Element does not have such a checkbox, it means that the Element is applicable. Check your Features List to see if it offers guidance about this Element. If you still have questions, call Steve Rockwell at before you leave the site so that he can help you evaluate figure out how to find and evaluate the Element. For some Elements use of a cannot evaluate checkbox may be appropriate -- the exact circumstances when they may be used is given on the form. If your situation does not fit the described circumstance but you feel prevented from evaluating an Element, give Steve Rockwell a call ( ). If all else fails, describe the situation as a partial closure at the top of the Feature page.
