Recreation Facilities <br />Recreation facilities are a type of amenities provided in a park. The concentration and number of recreational amenities characterize the park as <br />either active or passive. Parks can consist of one type of facility that is the programming for the whole park or they can have a combination of <br />active and passive recreation areas. Neighborhood and Community Parks often provide both active and passive recreation amenities, however, <br />in this plan, we identify parks as having primarily active recreation or primarily passive recreation. <br />• Active Recreation Area. Active Recreation areas have a more urban character and are highly programmed for activities. Examples of <br />active recreation areas and facilities operated by the City of Hugo include playgrounds, soccer fields and sand volleyball. Active recreation <br />facilities are typically costlier to develop and operate over time. Development of these facilities generally take into consideration the extent <br />of the user base, life cycle management costs and existence of similar facilities in or near the community. <br />• Passive Recreation Areas. Passive Recreation areas have little to no programming beyond picnic shelters, open space, or open <br />rectangular fields for use that is unstructured and informal. Some passive recreation areas provide no more than a trail. Passive or <br />community recreation facilities are usually less expensive to develop and maintain. <br />Table 6-1 shows the parks and facility types provided in the City of Hugo. <br />1-1UG0 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE <br />DRAFT Dec14-17 <br />for review only <br />DRAFT Dec14-17 <br />for review only <br />Active Recreation Areas are highly programmed for activities. <br />Passive Recreation Areas have little to no programming. <br />PARKS, TRAILS AND OPEN SPACE 118 <br />
