<br /> Outcomes
<br /> As stewards of the natural environment and our parks, facilities, and programs, we are dedicated to outcomes that guide our
<br /> efforts and offer insights about the kind of parks and recreation system we choose for ourselves. These outcomes are our
<br /> expectations; they cannot be relaxed without diminishing our intentions. They offer a common language to speak about our
<br /> parks and recreation, and the ways we are shaping them to guide an evolution of our community.
<br /> • Preserve natural assets and significant environmental features and provide spaces for active recreation.
<br /> • Foster environmental awareness and promote and manage the presence of wildlife and wild places.
<br /> • Create life-long experiences and intergenerational and intercultural opportunities by providing activities and options for
<br /> play throughout residents' lives which generate friendships and memories extending beyond park bounds.
<br /> • Improve physical and emotional health and provide residents with opportunities for active living as part of a vibrant
<br /> community.
<br /> • Stem potential public safety issues by keeping people active and engaged and by populating our public spaces.
