Exhibit 1 DIVERSE PARKS AND GREEN SPACES Identify and activate areas throughout Santa Ana to be used as park space and ensure these areas offer diverse activities and amenities. According to the PMP survey, most Santa Ana residents walk or bike to parks, so improving safe routes to parks by enhancing existing infrastructure as well as adding green spaces integrated strategically throughout neighborhoods will make green space more accessible to all residents. Finding creative solutions like expanding joint -use agreements with SAUSD to provide active recreation and other programming was identified as a great opportunity for the city to consider. Community members felt strongly that converting City owned land to green space improve community access without requiring the acquisition of additional land. This could include public right-of-way such as medians and small swaths of land in neighborhoods that could be considered for pocket parks. Community members made it clear that existing parks need to provide a variety of recreation and open space experiences to community members throughout the city. ,.. � ,.�•=-- - FIGURE 3-5 What features or facilities would you like to see more of in Santa Ana's parks? 0.0% 10.0% 20.0% 30.0% 40.0% Unique play features (e.g., nature play, water play,... 31.6% Picnic areas or shelters 23.1% Passive areas (trees, lawn, benches, etc.) 22.2% Exercise areas and fitness courts 19.3% Dog parks 19.2% Multi -use trails connecting parks and other... 1 17.0% Challenge elements (e.g., climbing walls, bike skills... 16.6% Sports courts (e.g., pickleball, shuffleboard, futsal,... 14.9% Community gardens 14.3% Sports fields (e.g., softball, soccer, cricket, lacrosse,... 13.4% Soft -surfaced trails for jogging and hiking 12.8% Community event spaces 9.1% Other 8.3% Art in public spaces 7.7% Bike pump track or BMX track 5.2% Interpretive trails 3.3% 1 don't think anything is missing ■ 1.0% FIGURE 3-6 What makes a great park? 0.0% 10.0% 20.0% 30.0% 40.0% 50.0% 60.0% 70.0% 80.0% Convenient location 69.7% Natural features/wildlife - 27.5% Condition of site and its facilities � 22.9% Sports fields or courts 22.7% Trail connections to other locations � 19.3% Fun play areas 18.8% Variety of things to do 14.3% Availability of restrooms and drinking fountains 13.1% Other 11.6% Classes or activities offered 6.5% Culture, history, or heritage of site 6.2% Accessible for those with different abilities 5.5% 5/17/2022 SANTA ANA PARKS MASTER PLAN CHAPTER 3: SANTA ANA COMMUNITY
