The village should define the community parks so that when development occurs , the village knows what land to accept for dedication or what should he purchased and not be in a situation of acquiring land that is left•over and does not serve the community well. Only three lake access points are indicated on the. plan. The Village should he encouraged to provide public access points to all the lakes and creeks where feasible. Several techniques are available to the village that would enable the community to retain such land open, such as subidvision land dedication, fe'e acquisition, easement, etc. The village should also try to integrate the neighborhood park's with present and future elementary schools. Standards for the various types of park facilities as well as techniques for implementation of the open space plan should be developed and set forth in the plan. • 6 .
