These are an expression of the community’s objectives, needs, and priorities for the provision of leisure space, and recreation services and facilities. The plan provides a guide for public policy and private decisions related to the scope, quality, and location of leisure opportunities to meet the needs of residents and visitors. The plan should be long-range and comprehensive. It should describe alternatives, recommendations, and guidelines for public and private decisions related to the use and preservation of open space for recreation. The plan should detail community recreation needs (parks, trails, facilities) and translate them into specific sites to acquire or develop. It also details policies, practices, or criteria related to the design and management of these spaces and services. The community will review how a specific subdivision will impact those needs defined in the Parks, Recreation, and Trails Plans. This is important because once land is developed, it almost never reverts to a pre-developed condition.
