Welcome to the 2026 GIS in Action Annual Conference hosted by the Oregon & SW Washington Chapter of the Geospatial Professional Network & Cascadia ASPRS.
The City of Gresham’s GIS Department and Asset Management team partnered with the Parks Department to modernize park asset management by transitioning from limited asset visibility to a comprehensive, data-driven program. Through the development of a mobile GIS-based data collection application, staff are systematically inventorying park assets, capturing condition assessments, and integrating this information directly into the City’s enterprise asset management (EAM) system. This approach establishes a centralized, reliable dataset that supports lifecycle planning, deferred maintenance analysis, and investment prioritization. By leveraging mobile technology and system integration, the City is creating a scalable framework to improve operational efficiency, enhance data quality, and maximize the return on limited maintenance budgets. Ultimately, this initiative strengthens long-term stewardship of park infrastructure and ensures resources are strategically allocated to better serve the Gresham community.
