Custom facilities are categorized as special assets because they often require unique construction, design, or modifications tailored specifically to the needs of a facility or program. These facilities might include specialized sports complexes, community centers with unique amenities, or other structures that serve specific recreational or community purposes not found in standard facilities. Their uniqueness often means they entail substantial investment and carry attributes that make them distinct from standard assets.

In contrast, landscaping equipment, natural reserves, and recreational programs typically fall into more conventional classifications. Landscaping equipment is generally viewed as operational or maintenance tools, natural reserves are considered environmental resources, and recreational programs are often categorized as services rather than assets. Thus, the characteristics of custom facilities align them with the definition of special assets that warrant separate consideration in financial or asset management contexts.
