GENERAL PRIORITY AREAS <br /> Alw <br /> The following general priority areas are proposed: <br /> 1. Athletic Complexes <br /> - The acquisition and development of land for community athletic <br /> fields is the highest priority area for the parks and recreation <br /> program. <br /> The participation in youth soccer, softball and baseball is <br /> growing and there is shortage of available facilities to <br /> accommodate the growth. <br /> - Land areas that do not have significant natural vegetation and <br /> that are not burdened with urban service assessments should be <br /> considered. <br /> - Other land areas that have appropriate topography and soil <br /> conditions, that are easily accessible and that do not present <br /> potential conflicts with residential areas should also be <br /> considered. <br /> - The potential for a joint effort between the city and the School <br /> District to develop additional athletic complexes should be <br /> pursued. <br /> - Since youth athletic activities draw from the entire#728 School <br /> District, fair participation in the development of athletic <br /> complexes by all communities within the district should be <br /> pursued. <br /> 2. Trails <br /> Extensive trail development is proposed to meet the demand <br /> reflected by the community survey. Walking trails, bicycle <br /> trails and nature trails are a high priority. <br /> - The development of the railroad corridor for hiking/biking <br /> trails and cross-country ski trails is high priority. <br /> - The development of internal park trails, particularly in <br /> Hillside Park, is a high priority. <br /> • <br /> 110 <br />
