1 <br />NON - TRADITIONAL SPORTS <br />Mountain biking, rugby, disc golf, geo- caching, <br />pickleball, and ultimate Frisbee are all seeing <br />a surge in popularity. These sports bring new <br />people and activities to parks, while also placing <br />new and different demands on them. These <br />non - traditional activities may compete with <br />traditional activities for park resources and space. <br />City of Elk River - Parks and Recreation Master Plan <br />TECHNOLOGY <br />Technology is changing many of the ways we live <br />our lives, and its impact on parks is no different. <br />While technology competes for leisure time <br />with traditional recreational activities, it presents <br />future opportunities as well. While information, <br />programs, and services will become more <br />available through public television, the internet <br />and social media, technology changes can also <br />create entirely new activities, such as geocaching. <br />Finally, maintenance practices and facility <br />construction can utilize advanced technology <br />for safer, more efficient, and healthier parks and <br />places. <br />look <br />'fdurrf�hl�� <br />Ly_l <br />s „ s rye <br />' -fig A <br />Draft 11.25.14 <br />
