Abstract

In the absence of prices for nonmarketed outdoor recreational services provided by public agencies, it is not possible to do a complete benefit cost analysis for proposed facilities for recreation. Good information on the cost of providing recreational services to the public is nonetheless important. This paper provides a step-by-step procedure that recreation planners can use to estimate the cost per user-day for proposed recreational facilities.
