Access Area: <br />The access area should include a well defined entrance and exit, adequate parking for <br />vehicles, bicycle racks and space for a bus turn -around. Walkways that connect all <br />sections of the archery park are essential. Consideration should be given to make all <br />areas ADA accessible. <br />An information station should be located near the center of the access area and central <br />to all the shooting ranges. The information station should include kiosks or offices, <br />bulletins boards, schedules, rules, picnic tables, garbage cans, restrooms and beverage <br />vending machines. Additional concessions like snack machines may be added as well <br />as storage, if equipment rental is planned. <br />Resting/Staging/Observation Area: <br />The resting/staging/observation area must include rain and sun shelters or canopies, <br />picnic tables, and, if the range is at some distance from the information station, water <br />fountains and restrooms. In addition, space for kids and families to play and bleachers <br />or seating for observers is preferred. The resting/staging/observation area should be <br />located directly behind all shooting ranges. Seating and/or space behind shooting lines <br />for observation are necessary to accommodate parents for general supervision of <br />shooting and for spectators during events. <br />Other notes to consider adding in this section: <br />1. A key to family use is creating a park where women are comfortable. Women <br />tend to want clean, well signed, nicely landscaped, safe areas and appreciate <br />restsrooms - not portable toilets. <br />2. With the advent of successful school archery programs such as the National <br />Archery in the Schools Program, ample areas for buses to park and turn around <br />is a must. <br />3. Kids like competition and parents like to watch — we need places for those <br />parents and others watching events to have plenty of space to observe. <br />4. Information kiosks are important so that local clubs, certified instructors, retailers, <br />or others conducting programs can tell local archers about their activities. <br />
