Ma'or Findings and Recommendations <br />Population growth will not be a significant factor within the District. Therefore, city and <br />School District actions should be the focused on meeting existing facility deficiencies. <br />While most athletic facilities within the District area are adequate to meet existing and future <br />demand, the following additions and improvements are needed to correct existing shortfalls: <br />• Additional Gym Space is Needed <br />The most serious shortfall is a lack of sufficient gym space for adult and <br />youth sports. A minimum of two indoor community recreation facilities are <br />needed with a at least six full size gym courts. <br />• A Sport Tournament Facility is Needed <br />The study area has no park capable of hosting a local, regional or state <br />sports tournament. A sports complex park is needed with a capacity of <br />eight to twelve fields for soccer, softball and youth baseball. <br />• Seven Additional Soccer Fields are Needed <br />Youth soccer is the fastest growing participation sport in the country and in <br />the study area. More soccer fields are needed to allow full participation, to <br />minimize conflicts arising from shared use fields and to prevent over -use of <br />existing fields. At least seven additional youth soccer fields should be <br />constructed within the District area. <br />• Additional Youth Baseball and Fast Pitch Softball Fields are Needed. <br />The study area has a shortage of medium size baseball and softball fields <br />(200'-250' outfield dimensions). These fields would serve the needs of <br />youth baseball players ages 10-16 and fast pitch softball players. Three to <br />five additional fields are needed. <br />3 <br />
