In developing a Haster Plen end priorLty liat for perk development, vhicfi
will constitute e beautifully completed Qark system, we should alwttys keep
in mind for plan�ing purpoaes and analysis the funetional classification
end definition of the varioua levels of parks.
In genaral there are three bnsic categoriea of parks thac reiace io haar�3:
Vieva needs ---- neighborhood, comunity, and netropoliten, HoMever, ve
are eaet relative to the concept of neighborhood parks.
Nainhborhood Parks - relativaly soell but iatensively develop�d parks
haviog easy accasaibility of residenta within a dlstance of no more than
three-fourths oite in eost cases. Siae oay vary from a portion of a city
block to several ac-ne. Most apace ie put to soae intenaive uae es opposed
to larga opan la�scaped areas. Neighborhood parks are fureher categorizad
as playlots, playgrou�s, and playfields.
Plavlots . are for use almost rholly by smsll children. Their size
averages roughly tYO acres !n area, a� their function ie eo provide
play facilities for susll children rho are not canveniently aerved by
by lerger parka.
Plevarounds - are usuelly about 5 acrea in siae and are detigned for
ase by chiidren £rom pre-school to age 12. 17roy contain et leaat one
eoftball diesond e� a hard-aurfaced area vith standards for baakeeball
end volieyball. If space is evailable, playgrounds mey contein a
wading pool. tennis court, playlot, and a amll shelter rith toilatt.
Their radius of influence ranges from one-foureh to ana-half mlle.
Plavfields - vary in size froa 10 to 30 aeres and are da�ignad to prwida
recraetion opportunities for ali agas. They conYain all the facilitias
of a playgromd plus additional ball diesond�. largar shelter�, tannis
courts, larger hnrd surfaced ateas for badsinton and shufflaboard,
hor�eshoe courts, and a large landscapad araa and lighting £or adult
waning use. Their radius of influence rengaa fros oM-helf to thraa-
fonrths mile.
Comunlri .erk� - relatively large parkt wwily having naGUral soeMtie�
end detigned for co�unity-vide wcial a�d recrastional functions. Co�unity
parks are generally �wtad for �uch activitia� a� picnicking. �trolling.
n�i�ing, and activa guing. Lighted areas for evsning play ara prwldad.
In ganaral cos�unity parks heve a much graater sMre of thair area laft in
it� natural open atate thm do neighborhood parks.
Matr000litan Perkt - vary large perks, whieh, bacause of their phy�ical
ettraotion� a� unutuel davalopoent, provide racreation opportunitias dwal-
opad tpaclfieally for a sstropolitan area's nead�. and whieh provida ractea-
tion lntera�ts tiiet ara not norylly sacisHad in naighborhood or corwnity
parkr. Numerous visitor� ars attrectad to wtropolitan perk� itra�p�etiva
of phytical barriars to eravel or of politieal boundaria�. Matropolitan
patk� provide for racrae[lonal aetivitier thet occupy tha mejor poriion of
a day or longer. such as eamping, hiking, fithing, and boating. In meny
cares relatively 1lttle development of fecilities is naeded.
• Thesa thr�a nt�gories of perks - naighboshood, oo�uniEq, and �attopoliEan
are not sutuelly a:clwive. Whet is a metropolitan park may �arva a� a co�sunity
park for a n�arby municipality, or a comunity perk mey serve at a n�ighborhood
park for r�tidenta Sn !tt vieinity.
