The Strategic Master Plan included a <br /> service area analysis to assess where specific additional park and recreation <br /> facilities would be needed in the future. The analysis concluded that the <br /> southern portion of the City is in need of additional neighborhood parks,linear <br /> parks/greenways,natural/special use areas, and non-paved trails. In addition, a <br /> facility needs assessment was conducted in the Strategic Master Plan to help <br /> prioritize the facility and amenity needs of the City based on a weighted scoring <br /> system. The facilities that were determined to be the highest priority were,in <br /> order: <br /> 1. Trails for walking and biking; <br /> 2. Indoor swimming pools; <br /> 3. Nature trails and nature center; <br /> 4. Small neighborhood parks; <br /> 5. Indoor fitness and exercise facilities; <br /> 6. Outdoor amphitheater/theater; <br /> 7. Outdoor swimming pool/leisure pools; and, <br /> 8. Indoor recreation center <br /> The Strategic Master Plan established specific visions, goals and strategies for the <br /> Parks Department over the next ten years, including the following that would be <br /> applicable for the Replacement Site: <br /> Page 35 <br />
