Constellations and Sectors As a natural evolution from the 1960 Parks and Recreation Plan, and through the process of developing this Parks and Recreation System Master Plan, we see that a new organizational structure can be created to better serve the parks and recreation needs and desires of a nearly full developed community. A sector and constellation concept will organize Roseville into four sectors (formed by Snelling Avenue, a major north-south arterial road, and Highway 36, a state highway running east-west) and 15 constellations (formed by a combination of factors, primarily significant roads and the 1/2 mile walking radius around existing parks). The sector and constellation structure is enhanced by green park-like connections that emphasize pedestrian and biking amenities between parks in each constellation, with links to other constellations and sectors. While some park components or services are best delivered on a community-wide basis, others are better delivered to smaller segments of the community. Through sectors and constellations, each part of Roseville and every neighborhood will be afforded the kinds of parks and recreation opportunities it needs, with each park playing a role in the system that balances the needs of the immediate neighborhood and the needs of the broader community. In this approach, parks within walking distance of a neighborhood are organized to serve a majority of the neighborhood's park and recreation needs. k 14 _ 1 1 11,14-1111416,„ i am- ' .; k li E k k. r I : 'ate ay -#:. rT Oasis Park Owasso Hills Park Northwest Sector Northeast Sector F , 1 -r-loi ' -111111 41 . , , : ..
