Area Identified in Riverine Plan for Developed River Access or Improvements

Other Areas that may Provide Additional Water Access Opportunities

Key Level of Service Findings

qWide variety of well distributed recreational opportunities qOverall level of service is high if accessed by an automobile

qAreas with lower level of service tend to have a relatively low

population density qAccess by walking is also well distributed amp very high in parts

of the city but is often limited by major pedestrian barriers qMore than half (69) of all city land and 91 or residents are

within walking distance of at least one recreation component

Preliminary Recommendations q ADA transition plan must be developed amp implemented

q Develop and implement designmaintenance standards including

replacement strategies Most in need include native landscapenon-turf areas shade structures basketball courts and

playground structure amp playground surfacing

q Consider long term development of quality skate parks

q Develop and implement a system of park master planning for aging existing parks

Most in need include Kiwanis Park Farmington Lake Justis Park Brookside Park Civitan Park Westside Estates Park Highland View Park Sun Valley Park Sycamore Park Boyd Park and Boat Launch

Preliminary Recommendations q Promote the great disk golf course and enhance the course with seating

concessions shade etc q Take advantage of the terrain climate amp water opportunities to become

an outdoor adventure sports destination with Climbing Hiking BMX Mtn Bike Jeeping etc

q Promote water access as a key recreation opportunity thru the development of high level water access and visual connection to the river for Kayaking Canoeing etc

q Develop and implement a system of park master planning for aging existing parks

Most in need include Kiwanis Park Farmington Lake Justis Park Brookside Park Civitan Park Westside Estates Park Highland View Park Sun Valley Park Sycamore Park Boyd Park and Boat Launch

Preliminary Recommendations q Promote the great disk golf course and enhance the course with seating

concessions shade etc q Take advantage of the terrain climate amp water opportunities to become

an outdoor adventure sports destination with Climbing Hiking BMX Mtn Bike Jeeping etc

q Promote water access as a key recreation opportunity thru the development of high level water access and visual connection to the river for Kayaking Canoeing etc

Area Identified in Riverine Plan for Developed River Access or Improvements

Other Areas that may Provide Additional Water Access Opportunities

Key Level of Service Findings

qWide variety of well distributed recreational opportunities qOverall level of service is high if accessed by an automobile

qAreas with lower level of service tend to have a relatively low

population density qAccess by walking is also well distributed amp very high in parts

of the city but is often limited by major pedestrian barriers qMore than half (69) of all city land and 91 or residents are

within walking distance of at least one recreation component

Preliminary Recommendations q ADA transition plan must be developed amp implemented

q Develop and implement designmaintenance standards including

replacement strategies Most in need include native landscapenon-turf areas shade structures basketball courts and

playground structure amp playground surfacing

q Consider long term development of quality skate parks

q Develop and implement a system of park master planning for aging existing parks

Most in need include Kiwanis Park Farmington Lake Justis Park Brookside Park Civitan Park Westside Estates Park Highland View Park Sun Valley Park Sycamore Park Boyd Park and Boat Launch

Preliminary Recommendations q Promote the great disk golf course and enhance the course with seating

concessions shade etc q Take advantage of the terrain climate amp water opportunities to become

an outdoor adventure sports destination with Climbing Hiking BMX Mtn Bike Jeeping etc

q Promote water access as a key recreation opportunity thru the development of high level water access and visual connection to the river for Kayaking Canoeing etc

Key Level of Service Findings

qWide variety of well distributed recreational opportunities qOverall level of service is high if accessed by an automobile

qAreas with lower level of service tend to have a relatively low

population density qAccess by walking is also well distributed amp very high in parts

of the city but is often limited by major pedestrian barriers qMore than half (69) of all city land and 91 or residents are

within walking distance of at least one recreation component

Preliminary Recommendations q ADA transition plan must be developed amp implemented

q Develop and implement designmaintenance standards including

replacement strategies Most in need include native landscapenon-turf areas shade structures basketball courts and

playground structure amp playground surfacing

q Consider long term development of quality skate parks

q Develop and implement a system of park master planning for aging existing parks

Most in need include Kiwanis Park Farmington Lake Justis Park Brookside Park Civitan Park Westside Estates Park Highland View Park Sun Valley Park Sycamore Park Boyd Park and Boat Launch

Preliminary Recommendations q Promote the great disk golf course and enhance the course with seating

concessions shade etc q Take advantage of the terrain climate amp water opportunities to become

an outdoor adventure sports destination with Climbing Hiking BMX Mtn Bike Jeeping etc

q Promote water access as a key recreation opportunity thru the development of high level water access and visual connection to the river for Kayaking Canoeing etc

Area Identified in Riverine Plan for Developed River Access or Improvements

Other Areas that may Provide Additional Water Access Opportunities

Key Level of Service Findings

qWide variety of well distributed recreational opportunities qOverall level of service is high if accessed by an automobile

qAreas with lower level of service tend to have a relatively low

population density qAccess by walking is also well distributed amp very high in parts

of the city but is often limited by major pedestrian barriers qMore than half (69) of all city land and 91 or residents are

within walking distance of at least one recreation component

Preliminary Recommendations q ADA transition plan must be developed amp implemented

q Develop and implement designmaintenance standards including

replacement strategies Most in need include native landscapenon-turf areas shade structures basketball courts and

playground structure amp playground surfacing

q Consider long term development of quality skate parks

q Develop and implement a system of park master planning for aging existing parks

Most in need include Kiwanis Park Farmington Lake Justis Park Brookside Park Civitan Park Westside Estates Park Highland View Park Sun Valley Park Sycamore Park Boyd Park and Boat Launch

Preliminary Recommendations q Promote the great disk golf course and enhance the course with seating

concessions shade etc q Take advantage of the terrain climate amp water opportunities to become

an outdoor adventure sports destination with Climbing Hiking BMX Mtn Bike Jeeping etc

q Promote water access as a key recreation opportunity thru the development of high level water access and visual connection to the river for Kayaking Canoeing etc

Key Level of Service Findings

qWide variety of well distributed recreational opportunities qOverall level of service is high if accessed by an automobile

qAreas with lower level of service tend to have a relatively low

population density qAccess by walking is also well distributed amp very high in parts

of the city but is often limited by major pedestrian barriers qMore than half (69) of all city land and 91 or residents are

within walking distance of at least one recreation component

Preliminary Recommendations q ADA transition plan must be developed amp implemented

q Develop and implement designmaintenance standards including

replacement strategies Most in need include native landscapenon-turf areas shade structures basketball courts and

playground structure amp playground surfacing

q Consider long term development of quality skate parks

q Develop and implement a system of park master planning for aging existing parks

Most in need include Kiwanis Park Farmington Lake Justis Park Brookside Park Civitan Park Westside Estates Park Highland View Park Sun Valley Park Sycamore Park Boyd Park and Boat Launch

Preliminary Recommendations q Promote the great disk golf course and enhance the course with seating

concessions shade etc q Take advantage of the terrain climate amp water opportunities to become

an outdoor adventure sports destination with Climbing Hiking BMX Mtn Bike Jeeping etc

q Promote water access as a key recreation opportunity thru the development of high level water access and visual connection to the river for Kayaking Canoeing etc

Key Level of Service Findings

qWide variety of well distributed recreational opportunities qOverall level of service is high if accessed by an automobile

qAreas with lower level of service tend to have a relatively low

population density qAccess by walking is also well distributed amp very high in parts

of the city but is often limited by major pedestrian barriers qMore than half (69) of all city land and 91 or residents are

within walking distance of at least one recreation component

Preliminary Recommendations q ADA transition plan must be developed amp implemented

q Develop and implement designmaintenance standards including

replacement strategies Most in need include native landscapenon-turf areas shade structures basketball courts and

playground structure amp playground surfacing

q Consider long term development of quality skate parks

q Develop and implement a system of park master planning for aging existing parks

Most in need include Kiwanis Park Farmington Lake Justis Park Brookside Park Civitan Park Westside Estates Park Highland View Park Sun Valley Park Sycamore Park Boyd Park and Boat Launch

Preliminary Recommendations q Promote the great disk golf course and enhance the course with seating

concessions shade etc q Take advantage of the terrain climate amp water opportunities to become

an outdoor adventure sports destination with Climbing Hiking BMX Mtn Bike Jeeping etc

q Promote water access as a key recreation opportunity thru the development of high level water access and visual connection to the river for Kayaking Canoeing etc

q Develop and implement designmaintenance standards including

replacement strategies Most in need include native landscapenon-turf areas shade structures basketball courts and

playground structure amp playground surfacing

q Consider long term development of quality skate parks

q Develop and implement a system of park master planning for aging existing parks

Most in need include Kiwanis Park Farmington Lake Justis Park Brookside Park Civitan Park Westside Estates Park Highland View Park Sun Valley Park Sycamore Park Boyd Park and Boat Launch

Preliminary Recommendations q Promote the great disk golf course and enhance the course with seating

concessions shade etc q Take advantage of the terrain climate amp water opportunities to become

an outdoor adventure sports destination with Climbing Hiking BMX Mtn Bike Jeeping etc

q Promote water access as a key recreation opportunity thru the development of high level water access and visual connection to the river for Kayaking Canoeing etc

qWide variety of well distributed recreational opportunities qOverall level of service is high if accessed by an automobile

qAreas with lower level of service tend to have a relatively low

population density qAccess by walking is also well distributed amp very high in parts

of the city but is often limited by major pedestrian barriers qMore than half (69) of all city land and 91 or residents are

within walking distance of at least one recreation component

Preliminary Recommendations q ADA transition plan must be developed amp implemented

q Develop and implement designmaintenance standards including

replacement strategies Most in need include native landscapenon-turf areas shade structures basketball courts and

playground structure amp playground surfacing

q Consider long term development of quality skate parks

q Develop and implement a system of park master planning for aging existing parks

Most in need include Kiwanis Park Farmington Lake Justis Park Brookside Park Civitan Park Westside Estates Park Highland View Park Sun Valley Park Sycamore Park Boyd Park and Boat Launch

Preliminary Recommendations q Promote the great disk golf course and enhance the course with seating

concessions shade etc q Take advantage of the terrain climate amp water opportunities to become

an outdoor adventure sports destination with Climbing Hiking BMX Mtn Bike Jeeping etc

q Promote water access as a key recreation opportunity thru the development of high level water access and visual connection to the river for Kayaking Canoeing etc

Key Level of Service Findings

qWide variety of well distributed recreational opportunities qOverall level of service is high if accessed by an automobile

qAreas with lower level of service tend to have a relatively low

population density qAccess by walking is also well distributed amp very high in parts

of the city but is often limited by major pedestrian barriers qMore than half (69) of all city land and 91 or residents are

within walking distance of at least one recreation component

Preliminary Recommendations q ADA transition plan must be developed amp implemented

q Develop and implement designmaintenance standards including

replacement strategies Most in need include native landscapenon-turf areas shade structures basketball courts and

playground structure amp playground surfacing

q Consider long term development of quality skate parks

q Develop and implement a system of park master planning for aging existing parks

Most in need include Kiwanis Park Farmington Lake Justis Park Brookside Park Civitan Park Westside Estates Park Highland View Park Sun Valley Park Sycamore Park Boyd Park and Boat Launch

Preliminary Recommendations q Promote the great disk golf course and enhance the course with seating

concessions shade etc q Take advantage of the terrain climate amp water opportunities to become

an outdoor adventure sports destination with Climbing Hiking BMX Mtn Bike Jeeping etc

q Promote water access as a key recreation opportunity thru the development of high level water access and visual connection to the river for Kayaking Canoeing etc

Area Identified in Riverine Plan for Developed River Access or Improvements

Other Areas that may Provide Additional Water Access Opportunities

Key Level of Service Findings

qWide variety of well distributed recreational opportunities qOverall level of service is high if accessed by an automobile

qAreas with lower level of service tend to have a relatively low

population density qAccess by walking is also well distributed amp very high in parts

of the city but is often limited by major pedestrian barriers qMore than half (69) of all city land and 91 or residents are

within walking distance of at least one recreation component

Preliminary Recommendations q ADA transition plan must be developed amp implemented

q Develop and implement designmaintenance standards including

replacement strategies Most in need include native landscapenon-turf areas shade structures basketball courts and

playground structure amp playground surfacing

q Consider long term development of quality skate parks

q Develop and implement a system of park master planning for aging existing parks

Most in need include Kiwanis Park Farmington Lake Justis Park Brookside Park Civitan Park Westside Estates Park Highland View Park Sun Valley Park Sycamore Park Boyd Park and Boat Launch

Preliminary Recommendations q Promote the great disk golf course and enhance the course with seating

concessions shade etc q Take advantage of the terrain climate amp water opportunities to become

an outdoor adventure sports destination with Climbing Hiking BMX Mtn Bike Jeeping etc

q Promote water access as a key recreation opportunity thru the development of high level water access and visual connection to the river for Kayaking Canoeing etc

of the city but is often limited by major pedestrian barriers qMore than half (69) of all city land and 91 or residents are

within walking distance of at least one recreation component

playground structure amp playground surfacing

q Consider long term development of quality skate parks

q Develop and implement a system of park master planning for aging existing parks

Most in need include Kiwanis Park Farmington Lake Justis Park Brookside Park Civitan Park Westside Estates Park Highland View Park Sun Valley Park Sycamore Park Boyd Park and Boat Launch

Area Identified in Riverine Plan for Developed River Access or Improvements

Other Areas that may Provide Additional Water Access Opportunities

Key Level of Service Findings

qWide variety of well distributed recreational opportunities qOverall level of service is high if accessed by an automobile

qAreas with lower level of service tend to have a relatively low

population density qAccess by walking is also well distributed amp very high in parts

of the city but is often limited by major pedestrian barriers qMore than half (69) of all city land and 91 or residents are

within walking distance of at least one recreation component

Preliminary Recommendations q ADA transition plan must be developed amp implemented

q Develop and implement designmaintenance standards including

replacement strategies Most in need include native landscapenon-turf areas shade structures basketball courts and

playground structure amp playground surfacing

q Consider long term development of quality skate parks

q Develop and implement a system of park master planning for aging existing parks

Most in need include Kiwanis Park Farmington Lake Justis Park Brookside Park Civitan Park Westside Estates Park Highland View Park Sun Valley Park Sycamore Park Boyd Park and Boat Launch

Preliminary Recommendations q Promote the great disk golf course and enhance the course with seating

concessions shade etc q Take advantage of the terrain climate amp water opportunities to become

an outdoor adventure sports destination with Climbing Hiking BMX Mtn Bike Jeeping etc

q Promote water access as a key recreation opportunity thru the development of high level water access and visual connection to the river for Kayaking Canoeing etc

Area Identified in Riverine Plan for Developed River Access or Improvements

Other Areas that may Provide Additional Water Access Opportunities

Key Level of Service Findings

qWide variety of well distributed recreational opportunities qOverall level of service is high if accessed by an automobile

qAreas with lower level of service tend to have a relatively low

population density qAccess by walking is also well distributed amp very high in parts

of the city but is often limited by major pedestrian barriers qMore than half (69) of all city land and 91 or residents are

within walking distance of at least one recreation component

Preliminary Recommendations q ADA transition plan must be developed amp implemented

q Develop and implement designmaintenance standards including

replacement strategies Most in need include native landscapenon-turf areas shade structures basketball courts and

playground structure amp playground surfacing

q Consider long term development of quality skate parks

q Develop and implement a system of park master planning for aging existing parks

Most in need include Kiwanis Park Farmington Lake Justis Park Brookside Park Civitan Park Westside Estates Park Highland View Park Sun Valley Park Sycamore Park Boyd Park and Boat Launch

Preliminary Recommendations q Promote the great disk golf course and enhance the course with seating

concessions shade etc q Take advantage of the terrain climate amp water opportunities to become

an outdoor adventure sports destination with Climbing Hiking BMX Mtn Bike Jeeping etc

q Promote water access as a key recreation opportunity thru the development of high level water access and visual connection to the river for Kayaking Canoeing etc
