520 _aGiven the fact that most local authorities assume that each park they own is worth only £1, questions why parks are accounted for in a way that does not recognise their financial value. Examines how parks are valued for local authority accounts, and then considers alternative accounting methodologies such as asset management planning. Considers the complex relationship between the financial value of a park, its quality and the benefits for people and suggests a simple mechanism to capture the wider value of a park to local people - park use as defined by visitor numbers. Concludes by proposing a framework for valuation that gives examples of different assets, indicating where valuation information can be found and shows how to quantify and value these, using Highbury Fields, Islington and Sefton Park, Liverpool as examples.
