Trails. The trail system is broken down based upon the function that the trail serves <br />• including linear corridors, special use trails, park trails, transportation trails, cross - <br />country, ski, horse and snowmobile trails. <br />• <br />• <br />Table 1 illustrates the type and acreage of park facilities contemplated by the 1992 Park <br />and Trail Comprehensive Plan. <br />Table 1 <br />1992 Park and Trail Comprehensive Plan <br />Trail Type <br />Existing <br />Acres <br />Future <br />Acres <br />Total <br />Acres <br />Mini Parks <br />10.1 <br />5.0 <br />15.1 <br />Neighborhood Parks <br />58.0 <br />69.0 <br />127.0 <br />Community Parks <br />22.0 <br />45.0 <br />67.0 <br />Community Playfields / Athletic Complexes <br />47.0 <br />83.0 <br />130.0 <br />Total City Parks <br />137.1 <br />202.0 <br />339.1 <br />Table 2 illustrates the type of trail facilities contemplated by the 1992 Park and Trail <br />Comprehensive Plan. <br />Table 2 <br />1992 Park and Trail Comprehensive Plan <br />Trail Type <br />Total Miles <br />Park Trails (trails w /in linear trail corridors) <br />14.1 <br />Transportation Trails (located in r.o.w) <br />29.2 <br />Bike Routes (paved road shoulders) <br />37.7 <br />Total Trail Miles <br />81.0 <br />EXISTING PARK SYSTEM & PARK PLAN MODIFICATIONS <br />The existing system of `''City parks provides relatively even coverage for the local <br />population. Exhibit C "Existing Park Service Area Map, indicates the location and type <br />of park facility and its service area (based upon the service area objectives of the <br />Comprehensive Park and Trails Plan). With the exception of about 230 acres in the far <br />northwest corner of the City and approximately 650 acres located east of I -35E, the <br />entire community is served by "mini, neighborhood and community" parks. School sites <br />with athletic and play equipment serve neighborhoods that are not within the local park <br />service areas. Future parkland acquisition and development will provide an even <br />distribution of park and athletic facilities to the remaining areas of the community. <br />The existing park system was further analyzed in terms of the service area per 1,000 <br />population guidelines set forth in the 1992 Comprehensive Park and Trail Plan. The <br />following table indicates that the City exceeds the park acres per 1,000 population <br />guidelines in all park categories. <br />6 of 14 <br />
