Reflection: For this project, we were asked to produce a short risk management video that profiled a park, recreation, tourism, or sport activity, small facility, or event. Along with the video, we also completed a document with corresponding risk management tools and documents for the facility we assessed.  For this project, I visited Apex Community Center for my assessment.  Although I have helped facilitate risk management workshops at NCRPA, this assignment put me in a position to evaluate a space and take the concepts and principles learned in class to identify potential risks associated with the space. While I looked at both inherent risks associated with the Apex Community Center and Trackside Plaza Skatepark, I ultimately focused on the community center and its Open Gym program.  Through this project, I was able to interview multiple staff, tour the site, make an updated risk management plan/document (that I shared with the staff in Apex) and create a fun and engaging risk management video. This assignment helped me to better identify potential safety and risk management related issues, and in turn, I now look at NCRPA’s workshops and events through a different lens taking into account potential risks that I did not consider before this class or assignment.
