Opportunities/ “Wants”:
1. Trails were the most cited “want” of the Parks and Recreation System. This category includes desires for longer trails, trail amenities (such as water fountains, restrooms, trailheads and maps), and for trails to make connections between destinations (such as parks, transit stops, neighborhoods, and special areas). 2. While the existing parks and trails are strengths of the community, residents also listed improvements, such as additional bathrooms, shade, signage, and safety measures for existing parks and trails. Some participants also wanted more variety in the sports fields constructed. 3. Niche/non-Traditional parks were a highly cited opportunity for the Parks and Recreation System. Niche parks like skate parks, dog parks, pickleball courts, and nature-focused parks/ centers were listed in the feedback.
