How are future parks prioritized for development?
Parks Administration and Development Services staff consider the City as a whole in selecting the next park for development. Rapidly developing sectors of town that have reached near build-out are weighted favorably. Location of most recent park development projects may also influence the decision – where a different part of town might be more heavily weighted. Selecting between neighborhood and community parks is also very important. Currently the City has met 88% of the standard for neighborhood parks, however community park development has achieved less than 60% of the standard. Full standards won’t be met until after full City build out.
