2 - Parks And Community Gathering Spaces
Community Parks A Community Park is a large and much more versatile type of park developed to serve the community. These parks can be oriented to provide both active and passive recreational facilities for all ages. A community park can serve several neighborhood areas and can typically be conveniently accessed by automobile.

Special Use Parks Special Use Parks cover a broad range of specialized park and recreation facilities, often with a single major use. Golf courses, historical sites, community center sites, theme parks, water parks, and other special use facilities fall into this category. These parks may also include neighborhood or community park elements but with amenities that have a regional appeal to visitors from outside the boundaries of the city. Because special use parks vary by size and type from city to city, there is not a specific recommended level of service.
