COSTS AND INVESTMENT <br />STRATEGY <br />If park acquisition requires purchasing new <br />parkland at market rates, the total cost for all park <br />acquisition, development, enhancements, and <br />improvements could be $679 million. Adding new <br />land and facilities could increase park maintenance <br />costs to $5.2 million annually. These costs do not <br />include the maintenance and development of <br />trail corridors, which are identified in conjunction <br />with transportation planning. It does not include <br />costs associated with increased park activation, <br />programming, administration, and operations. <br />To implement these recommendations, the PIMP <br />identifies potential funding sources, prioritization <br />tools, and a 12-step action plan for the next <br />10 years. <br />Existing Park $127.8 million $3.7 million <br />Sites <br />Planned, $551.4 million $1.5 million <br />Proposed, <br />and Expanded <br />Parks <br />Note: See details on capital and operation costs <br />in Chapter 8. <br />FINAL WORD <br />The Parks Master Plan is a community -driven document, created <br />because of the significant community interest in enhancing Santa Ana's <br />park and recreation system. While the level of service recommended in <br />this plan is not as high as some residents would like to see, a substantial <br />investment will be necessary to provide 1.5 acres of parkland per 1,000 <br />residents, plus the quality facilities, trails, programs, events, and services <br />desired. To achieve this vision, elected officials, voters, businesses, <br />community organizations, volunteers, donors, and residents will have <br />to work together to make continuous progress in enhancing parks and <br />recreation opportunities. This will be an important investment in Santa <br />Ana's quality of life. <br />SANTA ANA PARKS MASTER PLAN <br />EXECUTIVE SUMMARY <br />
