In order to make informed and appropriate decisions to address the <br />diverse park and trail-related needs of the community, a deep understanding of <br />the current state of the city’s parks and trails is required. <br />This assessment looks at the quantity, distribution, quality, and current use <br />of the various elements of the systems. The data is collected and compared <br />to standards and benchmarks provided by the National Recreation and Parks <br />Association (NRPA), as well as park planning principles including level of <br />service. Local input from residents, volunteers, and city staff also provide <br />critical information about the system and its use.
