SILVER VIEW PARK IMPROVEMENT PLAN PURPOSE STATEMENT It is intended that Silver View Park become a focal point of the community; a gathering place for friends and neighbors; a resource for passive leisure and a facility for active recreation. The Silver View Park Task Force recommends that the City continue to move forward in the provision of park improvements at Silver View Park. The following are thirteen recommendations for a plan of improvements at Silver View Park. These thirteen recommendations are supplemented with additional information given as a reference in the remaining portion of the proposal. I. CONCEPT PLAN It is recommended that Silver View Park should be divided into three concept areas. Each area should constitute a different function or "concept". The three areas and their functions are listed below in the description of the "Concept Plan". Concept #1 - Silver View Park Pond. This area includes the body of water and the pond buffer area. The function of this area is to provide the natural resources for a nature setting. Concept #2 - Nature/Passive Area. This area includes all the upland natural wooded areas of the western area of the park, and the pathway area around the pond. This area is predominantly for nature activities such as hiking and nature study. Concept #3 - Active Play/Social Area. This area includes the upper part of the park. This area is intended to provide play and social gathering facilities to accommodate people of all ages. This concept plan is important to understand because it was the basis of formulating many recommendations for issues regarding improvements to Silver View Park. The first concept or function area that was discussed was the pond area. The consensus of the group was to adopt the water quality recommendations presented by Environmental Specialists in their Silver View Pond Management Plan. Cj
