<br />TABLE 4-3: SUMMARY OF KEY OPPORTUNITIES AND ACQUISITION NEEDS
<br />OPPORTUNITIES ANALYSIS TO SERVE
<br />PARK GAPS
<br />While many of the unserved areas have a high
<br />severity of need, it's important to recognize
<br />that these areas also have different capacities
<br />to meet park needs. The PMP created criteria
<br />to identify a range of potential opportunities
<br />for meeting recreation needs beyond land
<br />acquisition and park development. Opportunities
<br />considered included:
<br />• Existing Park Enhancements: The expansion
<br />or development of additional facilities at a
<br />nearby park could attract and serve residents
<br />from a greater distance (within a 10-minute or
<br />1/2 mile walk).
<br />• Improved Access to Existing Park: Needs
<br />could be met by improving access to existing
<br />parks located within a 5-minute (1/4 mile) walk.
<br />• Other City -Owned Property: The City owns a
<br />property in an unserved area that may have the
<br />potential to be developed as a park.
<br />• Public School: A public school is located within
<br />a 5-minute (1/4 mile) walk of residents in this
<br />• Existing Trail Corridor (Class I): An
<br />existing Class I trail corridor passes though
<br />the unserved area. While off-street trails
<br />do not meet park needs, they do provide
<br />nearby recreation amenities and make it
<br />easier to walk or bike to a park.
<br />• Planned Trail Corridor (Class I/IV): A
<br />Class I or Class IV (off-street) trail corridor
<br />is planned for development within this
<br />unserved area, potentially supporting
<br />recreation and improving access to other
<br />parks in the future. Data for the long
<br />term bicycle network was taken from the
<br />General Plan, Mobility Element.
<br />• Other: Other opportunities include
<br />improving access to surrounding
<br />regional parks and potential acquisition
<br />opportunities.
<br />Table 4-3 summarizes these opportunities
<br />and needs, showing in red the unserved
<br />areas with a high severity of need. Refer to
<br />Appendix B for the detailed opportunities
<br />analysis matrix that explains opportunities
<br />and needs for each unserved area. In
