National Park Service Recreational Use of Land in the United States

Because of the fact that up-to-date data on the extent, number, type, administration, etc., of various kinds of recreation areas were not available for use in connection with this report, five special types of questionnaires were distributed to obtain such data. Of these, two were worked up by the Recreation Division. These were form RD-1, dealing with data on State properties partly or wholly devoted to recreation, and the Park User questionnaire. The remaining three—on county parks, on municipal parks in cities of 5,000 population or more, and on municipal parks in cities of less than 5,000—were revisions of questionnaires used for the same purpose in 1930 by the National Recreation Association.

The number of questionnaires sent out was as follows:
