In 2015, the California Department of Parks and Recreation launched ParksForCalifornia.org, a website to support its new State Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (SCORP). GreenInfo helped the Department develop both the SCORP and the website which featured an emphasis on the 1,000 agencies that own and manage California's 14,000+ parks and other protected open space lands. As a followup to this work, the Department asked GreenInfo to expand the website's capacity for showcasing success stories developed by these agencies to learn how others have built new parks and improved public facilities.
The site also invites any viewer to submit their own success story, via the Share Your Story page!
To build the story database, GreenInfo used PostgreSQL. An interesting element in the User Interface for the story uploads is that users need to upload their thumbnail pictures at a fixed size - to help them, GreenInfo provided a cropping tool, allowing them to drag and zoom the image, then click to snip​ the downsized version of their image, which is used on the site in lieu of their actual uploaded file.
