Everett Parks and Recreation Parks <br />Park and Trail Classifications and <br />Development Standards <br />Park classifications have been developed based on desired <br />outcomes for sustainability, recreation, wellness and equitable <br />distribution of recreational service to the community. The <br />classifications are only meant to serve as a guide to aid in <br />providing predictability to maintenance costs and delivery of <br />service. A specific park may have multiple elements and <br />functions, as the final outcome is dependent on a public <br />process. <br />From the Strategic Master Plan <br />Establish design standards and principles for each <br />classification of park type to force park designers to <br />design to these specific outcomes when parks are <br />updated or developed new. <br />All Parks should include the following basic elements: <br />24 <br />• Everett Park sign standards for site identification, <br />regulatory information and to provide direction to <br />amenities. <br />• Appropriate site furnishings for the type of park. <br />• Consideration for incorporating public art and historic <br />and environmental interpretive elements into parks. <br />• Connection to surrounding neighborhoods by <br />sidewalks, bicycle lanes or off-street trails to provide <br />multiple ways of accessing parks. <br />• Incorporate new technologies into park designs to <br />facilitate operational efficiency and sustainability. <br />• Universal access principles to facilitate access and <br />movement within parks for people of all ages and <br />abilities. <br />Everett Parks and Recreation <br />
