Questions addressing <br /> the relative concern for and enjoyment of passive vs more active <br /> recreati oral areas, and of a small neighborhood park system vs <br /> perceived need for developing community-wide facilities could be <br /> explored to determine if recreational needs of the residents are <br /> being met or wrill be met under existing philosophies and guide- <br /> lines. The adequacy of existing or planned development patterns <br /> for specific parks and groups of parks also can be explored. <br /> Finally, determining if recent programs have been adequate and <br /> ,t e+L."1 could be a part of the survey. These three 1evais of <br /> progra.nmi rig direc-ti:-n need to be reexamined with differe-it <br /> frequency, depending on the permanency of the decisions invoived. <br /> For ex amp 1 e, the passive vs active and neighborhood part: vs <br /> community facilities philosophies involve long-term decisions <br /> which do not need nor can utilize frequent reexamination. Park <br /> development or r-7-developmeq+ issues can and should be reexamined <br /> with more frequency, particularly as areas develop, change or as <br /> equipment and facilities wear and need replacement.
