Program brochure. | The S.H.A.P.E. program is designed to measure the effectiveness of the City of Kansas City, Mo., Parks and Recreation Department in the area of park maintenance through the consistent monitoring and evaluation of the City's public parks. Since its implementation, our parks have shown dramatic improvement in their cleanliness, maintenance of the playgrounds and the various parks structures and landscape. | | As part of the inspection process, 10 community centers and four facilities also are included in the S.H.A.P.E. Program. The centers have unannounced visits once a month. During these unannounced inspections the staff reviews maintenance issues and ensure that safe, healthy, clean environments are being provided to the public. The inspection process is divided into three main categories: Interior Activity Areas, Exterior Features and Landscape Features. Within those areas there are 17 components to be evaluated. A few of those areas are rest-rooms/locker rooms, kitchens and pool areas, exercise rooms doorways / hallways gymnasiums. Exterior areas include sidewalks, parking lots, structure and signage. Landscape areas are turf, trees and horticulture. |
