ADDITION OF SMALL-SCALE RECREATION AMENITIES <br />CASE STUDY EL CAJON 2030: CONNECTING PEOPLE WITH PARKS, EL CAJON, CA <br />Asa recipient of the first round of NRPA and TPUs 10-Minute Walk Planning and Technical Assistance <br />grants, the City of El Cajon created a plan to increase access to parks for everyone in the city. El Cajon <br />is a built- out city with diverse residents and a legacy of limited and varyingly distributed parkland. <br />Consequently, the new plan introduced innovative options to add parkland, including creating small - <br />footprint parks, adding small-scale park amenities to available spaces, repurposing underperforming <br />spaces, and increasing joint -use opportunities with schools and public facilities. <br />The City explored adding small recreation and gathering spots that support fitness and play near <br />homes, along trails, at the edge of school campuses, in utility corridors, and in other public spaces. For <br />smaller settings, specific play elements may stand alone or be one of a series of experiences linked by <br />a trail system. <br />Connecting People <br />with 'arks <br />184 <br />
