f. Quality. Briefly evaluate the quality of rec-
reation areas based on such factors as attrac-
tiveness of facilities, adequacy of support services
such as parking and restrooms, conservation of
natural resources, and maintenance. This eval-
uation can be used for comparison between in-
stallation and off-post recreation areas.
g. Capacity. To facilitate comparison of sup-
ply with demand, indicate the number of par-
ticipants or visits (on an annual basis) the
recreation area or facility is designed to accom-
modate. If the original design or "use" standard
is known, multiply the quantity of the recrea-
tion area or facility by the design standard. If
the design standard is unknown, use a common
outdoor recreation standard to compute capac-
ity.
( 1 ) Standards. Design standards are ratios
of the optimum number of persons which a given
outdoor recreation area or facility can accom-
modate per day or at one time. They are used to
estimate the capacity of a given area or facility
to provide outdoor recreation opportunities or,
alternatively, to compute the number of facili-
ties or amount of area needed for a particular
outdoor recreation activity given an unexpected
number of users. It is assumed that the amount
of use of a facility, per day or at one time, will
not exceed the design specifications of the fa-
cility, and therefore, the facility will withstand
