STATION 2 - PARKS & FACILITIES
DRAFT RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ALL PARKS
•Make acquiring land for neighborhood parks a high priority
•Locate neighborhood parks within one-half mile of all neighborhoods
•Establish a stewardship plan for each park and determine which parks should have a “friends of” organization
•Continue to work with Area Commissions, Civic Associations and citizen groups to get feedback and gain input on park improvements and needs.
•Continue to work with neighborhood groups to improve and maintain parks, but institute a memorandum of understanding with such groups to ensure a continual commitment.
•Acquire enough land to meet recommended standards for all classifications of parkland
•Reevaluate existing properties and facilities to determine if each meets the needs of the CRPD
•Remove access and circulation barriers to city parks
•Continue developing multi-use trails throughout the city
•Coordinate with the Columbus Planning Division, and the Transportation and Public Service departments, to enhance pedestrian and bicycle connections
•Make facilities within a park accessible to pedestrians
•Use the city’s Web site to let the public view project designs and provide input
•Develop a checklist for minimum park and facility standards

NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS
STATION 2 - PARKS & FACILITIES
of Columbus residents currently have a need for Small Neighborhood Parks75%
DRAFT RECOMMENDATIONS FOR NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS2 acres per 1,000 residents is a standard that should be met (currently .95), in addition to the following recommendations:
•Require a consistent maintenance standard that is equal to or greater than the surrounding neighborhood
•Assess the amount of land needed for the next ten years, and determine where it is most in need
• Identify existing land holdings (for example Natural Areas) that could be converted into Neighborhood Parks in areas of need. Also consider working together with other City departments to identify other programs and initiatives (such as Blueprint Columbus) where Neighborhood Parks could be included.
•Update 5 neighborhood parks per year
•Focus on park improvements that address community Health and Wellness
•Preserve a dedicated percentage of park area in a natural state to increase wildlife habitat and reduce maintenance costs
•Plan for a length of user experience of less than one hour
•Update design standards to provide at least 5 experiences
• Increase visibility of parks and park activity centers from the street edge Reynolds Crossing

PARK NAMEPARKS - MAINTENANCE ZONES
STATION 2 - PARKS & FACILITIES
DRAFT RECOMMENDATIONS FOR PARK ACQUISITION
•Consider a regional approach to spending parkland dedication funds to better enable future parks development
•Be proactive in acquiring land, but identify maintenance costs at time of acquisition
•Establish objective criteria for evaluating parcels being considered for acquisition
•Acquire land that would link parks, community centers, local cultural facilities, and schools
•Give sites with natural resources a high priority for passive recreation
•Use various techniques for acquiring land
DRAFT RECOMMENDATIONS FOR PARK MAINTENANCE
•The Park System’s existing maintenance standards are below best practices for neighborhood and community parks, based on frequency of care for mowing and cleaning of restrooms, parking areas, sports fields and playgrounds.
•Higher standards are desired by the community and should be considered for the future management of the system. The Department does not have CPTED standards in place, either for park design or maintenance. These should be considered for safety-related issues in neighborhood parks.
•The Department does an excellent job maintaining the Downtown Parks in the city based on their Level One standards.
•Though the department has created maintenance zones for each park in the city, one higher level of maintenance care should be considered. This will support higher property values in the community, reduce crime, vandalism and graffiti in parks and provide a higher level of civic pride.
