Table 7-1. City of Huge Local Public Parks Source: City of Hugo, April 2007 There are also some private parks and community gathering centers located within the City's residential neighborhoods that are privately owned and maintained by the homeowners associations. These parks augment the City's system and serve the residents of these neighborhoods. Other City Property In addition to the above described City parks, the City owns other properties - some of which could possibly be developed into parks or remain as open space. A brief description of other City -owned property follows: 1. Sunset Lake Access. The City owns two parcels of land on Sunset Lake. The north parcel is located at the north end of Homestead Drive North. It is roughly 4 acres and has a boat launch that is now closed. The boat launch was closed after many residents who live on Homestead Drive North became frustrated with the traffic, parking, trespassing, and litter problems associated with the boat launch. The site is a difficult location for a boat launch because it is located at the end of long dead-end road. There is not sufficient room for on-site parking and allowing on -street parking for the boat launch could create a safely issue because emergency vehicles and school buses do not have adequate room to turn around at the end of the drive if the drive is congested with vehicles and boat trailers. The City is in the process of evaluating the site for less intensive park uses but at this point has not dismissed the possibility of reopening the boat launch in the future.
