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

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

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

Farmington Riverine Plan
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

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 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

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

Inventory Summary q Numerous shelters and basketball that do not meet current
standard
q Skate Parks suffer from lack of quality components
q More can be done to take advantage of lakes ponds and river
q ADA accessibility is limited in many parks
q Some parks have below standard playground structures or local playgrounds where destination playgrounds are warranted
Inventory Summary q Park maintenance is generally excellent but a few locations are
prone to vandalism
q Existing dog parks are exceptional
q Noted high quality turf in all parks
q Non-turf areas deserve some attention to help with drainage and erosion
q Majority of the playgrounds have sand safety surfacing that should be upgraded

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

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

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

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

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
