Board reviews draft parks service‑area mapping and Level of Service document
Summary
Staff presented draft parks service‑area maps identifying gaps where new park sites should be targeted and a Level of Service document showing how planned capital improvements and new parks would change service coverage across the city.
Parks & Recreation Director J.C. Kennedy presented draft work on the comprehensive plan parks element and the park master plan, focusing on service‑area mapping and a Level of Service document the department developed with a consultant.
The service‑area maps identify neighborhoods with gaps in park access where the city should strategically target future park sites to meet the stated goal of having every residential home within a park service area. The Level of Service document outlines planned capital improvements for existing parks, the types of amenities planned for new park additions and how those changes will affect overall service metrics as parks are added.
Kennedy said the documents are a working product from the consultant who is helping the city update its comprehensive plan framework and that they will inform future capital planning and site selection.
