National Park Service: Managed Properties in the District of	 
Columbia (15-APR-05, GAO-05-378).				 
                                                                 
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.

United States Government Accountability Office Washington, D.C. 20548

April 15, 2005

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.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.

1NPS does not categorize the properties it manages in the District using
specific terms and definitions for each type of property. According to NPS
officials, the terms associated with some of the properties are based on
their shape, (e.g., circles, squares, and triangles). The term "hill,"
such as used for the property, Barnard Hill, is based on topography, and
"parkway" is a roadway in a park-like setting. Some terms for properties
are based on the properties' location. For example "curb parking" is a
strip of property near the curb of a street and "center parking" is the
median strip in the roadway.

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.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;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 NPSmanaged 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 NPSmanaged
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

3The District government manages about 350 federal properties, which are
not included in this report.

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:

o 	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.

o 	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.

o 	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.

o 	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.

o 	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),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.

4The name for the National Capital Parks-Central Management Unit has been
changed to National Mall & Memorial Parks, effective March 9, 2005.

                             Sources: NPS and GAO.

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.5 Table 1 shows
the number of properties in the four categories.

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

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.

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

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 NPSmanaged 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

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.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.

areas.

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
multipleuse 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.

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 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,NPS Property To Be transfer of jurisdiction, memoranda of agreement
or cooperative Used or Managed by agreements, partnerships of public and
private entities, and leases. As the District for discussed below, some of
these options may be implemented by NPS and

the District under existing legislation; others would require enactment
ofRecreational Purposes 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.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

7NPS has general authority to sell and convey title to property located in
the District that is under its jurisdiction. However, this authority
applies to property "which may be no longer needed for public purposes"
and thus would not apply to situations in which title to the property is
being transferred precisely for the purpose of making it available to the
public- in this case for recreation. 40 U.S.C. S: 8735(a), D.C. Code S:
10-804.

Island and the southern portion of Kingman Island) to the District.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.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.10 Prior to enactment of this authority in 1932,
congressional action was required for each transfer between the federal
government and the District.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

8Pub. L. No. 104-163, 110 Stat. 1416 (1996). Before enactment of the
National Children's Island Act, NPS had attempted to facilitate
construction of the project by transferring jurisdiction over the islands
to the District. The action was challenged in court, alleging that NPS
should have prepared an environmental analysis, prior to the transfer, in
accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA), Pub.
L. No. 91-190, 83 Stat. 852 (1970), and implementing regulations. The
court upheld the challenge and ordered NPS to comply with NEPA. Anacostia
Watershed Society v. Babbitt, 871 F. Supp. 475 (D.D.C. 1994). In a
subsequent ruling, the court clarified that its earlier ruling did not
rescind the jurisdictional transfer and that the transfer would remain in
effect pending completion of NPS's environmental analysis. Anacostia
Watershed Society v. Babbitt, 875 F. Supp. 1 (D.D.C. 1995). Subsequently,
the National Children's Island Act (Pub. L. No. 104-163 (1996)) required
the transfer of title to the property to the District, and declared the
previous transfer of jurisdiction to be null and void. The Children's
Island Act also required the District to comply with NEPA prior to
construction.

9The project was the subject of litigation in the 1990s and was halted by
the District of Columbia Financial Control Board in 1998. Subsequently, an
alternative project was proposed.

1040 U.S.C. S: 8124. Similarly, under this provision, the District may
transfer jurisdiction over properties it owns to the federal government.
Section 8124 provides: "Federal and District of Columbia authorities
administering properties in the District that are owned by the Federal
Government or by the District may transfer jurisdiction over any part of
the property among or between themselves for purposes of administration
and maintenance under conditions the parties agree on." The District of
Columbia Code contains a provision authorizing the transfer of
jurisdiction over property between the United States and the District that
mirrors federal law. See D.C. Code Ann. S: 10-111.

11See, e.g., Sen. Rep. No. 72-148, at 1 (1932).

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.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.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.14 Official city maps may be changed and records updated after an
official exchange of letters of transfer and acceptance between the
parties.15

Some examples16 of jurisdictional transfers from the federal government to
the District government include properties used or to be used for the
following:

o  highways,

o  correctional facilities,

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.17

A 1949 agreement between NPS and the District of Columbia Recreation
Board18 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.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.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.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.22

NPS has authority to lease certain federally owned or administered
property located within the boundaries of park areas.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.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

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.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 http://www.gao.gov.

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 NPSmanaged 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

Appendix I Scope and Methodology

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.1 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

Treasury Building, and Grounds, South Ellipse.

Appendix I Scope and Methodology

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 NPSmanaged
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 Parks2 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.

2Fort Circle Park's plan was identified as a management plan, as opposed
to general management plan.

Appendix IV

Information on the 154 NPS-Managed Properties That Did Not Contain
Identified Recreational Facilities

This appendix provides information on the 154 NPS-managed properties in
the District that do not contain any recreational facilities, including
sports facilities. In summary, 116 (75 percent) of these properties were
in the circles, squares, and triangles category, but accounted for only
about 16 (4 percent) of the 450 total acres. Sixteen of the 154 properties
were in the park and parkways category and accounted for 398 (88 percent)
of the total acres. The remaining 22 properties were in the "other"
category and accounted for 36 of the total acres. Table 6 shows, by
National Capital Region management unit, property number, location
description, type of property, and size (in acres) associated with each
property.

Appendix VI

Information on the Condition of Properties with Sports Facilities

This appendix provides information on the condition of properties with
sports facilities. Each year NPS assesses the condition of the grounds,
landscapes, and associated features of federal properties it manages. NPS
conducts these condition assessments on a location basis, which may
encompass several properties. NPS provided assessments covering 24 of the
25 properties with sports facilities. An assessment was not provided for
one property due to security reasons.1 Table 8 provides information on the
results of these assessments.

Fort Circle Parks, Rock Creek Park, Piney Branch Parkway, and Anacostia
Park are already included in the "park and parkways" category. A more
detailed description concerning the composition of the park and parkways
category can be found in appendix I.

When formatted, the captions track with their perspective photos.

We removed the reference to boat rentals and included information that
identifies the specific property so that it could be more readily
identified.

We clarified the caption at the bottom of the photos to explain that the
recreational facilities have not been in use since the property has been
closed to the public.
