ACTIVE RECREATION DISTRIBUTION While access to parks is critical for all residents, a small green space with a bench is not sufficient. It's just as important to have access to active recreation opportunities that support health and fitness. This can be more challenging because of the amount of park space needed to support sports fields, sports courts, skate parks, gymnasiums, and other active features. Map 4-5 shows the distribution of existing indoor and outdoor active recreation facilities in Santa Ana. The City does a good job of ensuring that active opportunities are dispersed and available in most areas that have existing parks. However, some neighborhoods lack active recreation. Key Findings and Needs • There is a more equitable distribution of active recreation facilities throughout the city than major recreation facilities. • The following Santa Ana parks provide options for active recreation. • 5 Citywide Parks out of 5 total • 17 Community Parks out of 17 total • 5 Neighborhood Parks out of 11 total • 5 Joint -Use School Sites out of 8 total City Council • Primary needs include the repair and replacement of existing sports fields and courts to ensure that residents continue to have access to nearby active recreation options • The addition of multi -purpose and all-purpose fields is also needed if large parks can be acquired to do so. • Secondary needs include improving support amenities, such as shade, restrooms, drinking fountains, moveable furniture, bleachers or other seating, etc. that support active recreation at these sites. • Adding sports lighting would extend the use and availability of recreation opportunities. The Santa Ana Stadium is the only facility that currently provides lighting, and it has limited access to the public. • The City currently provides several sports field overlays (ball diamonds, soccer fields, and all- purpose fields), meaning not all facilities noted on the map are playable at the same time. While overlays efficiently use limited park space, they have been increasing problematic as "off- season" sports play continues to expand. • Ball diamonds, basketball courts, and tennis courts are the most available/ offered active recreation options in Santa Ana. However, diverse communities may see a need for more soccer fields, cricket fields, badminton, futsal and pickleball courts. These types of sports fields and courts are not easily accessible in Santa Ana. -.Exhibit 1 �ip o-n2eyylyy -__- M En n mPyk L_�.. _Tr 1:rZ,13 GAF N Gi O J[ I i I 9�n10 y ¢�s ek, �]. .iv Park pParkr prt�a �PPa+ka r� ari Rlver Park� +. �._.�.�.�----•—•� j � `^r-----f,, is LI '� I .'9 it 5a3rada ��jLjr,�d 9 jM�er�� r 1 Rnai a Park p, a 'y:.
