Classification Standard

Parks vary considerably in size, utilization, and facilities, with diverse features such as beaches, swimming pools, tennis courts, campsites, marinas, performing arts venues, picnic sites, pavilions, environmental exhibits, athletic fields and buildings, restaurants, boating and hiking, skiing, and riding trails. These positions are classified only in the regional/district operations of the Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation.
