Parks Development, Redevelopment and Rehabilitation Provide a high-quality, financially sound system of parks, open spaces, trails, and waterways that meets the recreation needs of all city residents, offers a visual/physical diversion from the hard surfacing of urban development, enhances our quality of life, and forms an essential part of our community’s identity and character . Policies: 2.1.Evaluate and refurbish parks, as needed, to reflect changes in population, age, and diversity of residents, recreational activities preferred, amount of leisure time available, and best practice designs and technologies, and asset management strategies. 2.2.Orient parks and programs equally to youth activities that focus on community building activities teaching them life-long skills, and exposing them to a variety of recreation experiences, and to adult activities which accommodate adults’ needs for wellness and provide a range of social interaction opportunities. 2.3.Focus parks on passive and active recreational activities and activities that take advantage of the unique natural features. Pursue opportunities for incorporating art and cultural programs, which enrich citizens’ mental and emotional well-being, as a complement to primary physical focus of parks and recreation programs. 2.4.Organize all parks and facilities so that a component is provided for informal, non- programmed activities—those open to anyone in the community, at any time. 2.5.Maintain parks and open space according to the standards outlined in the Park Maintenance Manual which recognizes that levels of service must be provided based on the intensity of use and purpose of the site. 2.6.Use innovative methods for park and facility improvements that offer lower lifecycle costs, even if the initial cost is higher. Develop park and recreation facilities that minimize the maintenance demands on the City by emphasizing the development of well-planned parks, high- quality materials and labor- saving maintenance devices and practices. 2.7.Promote and support volunteerism to encourage people to actively support Roseville’s parks and open spaces. 7
