Chapter 6 ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATION Introduction This chapter provides the analysis of future parks, trails and open space needs along with recommendations for addressing these needs. This chapter applies the park, trail and open space classification standards and policies outlined in previous chapters of this plan to the growth and land use expectations identified in the Lakeville 1998 Comprehensive Plan. In analyzing future facility needs through 2030, consideration was given to the following factors: • Comparison of growth against national park standards. • Continued integration of school facilities within the Lakeville park and trail system to avoid duplicate investment in park and recreation facilities. • On-going development and upgrade in the trail system to improve access to City parks and expand the service areas of existing or planned facilities. • Integrate the analysis of park needs with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan to identify park, trail and open space needs based on future land use, population growth and distribution, transportation planning, MUSA staging, and environmental protection. Comparison With Accepted National Norms Table 16, Recommended Facility Standards, summarizes by activity the recommended physical design standards, per capita recommendations and service radius for a wide variety of recreational activities. While these standards can be applied to existing conditions, their real asset is as a planning tool in establishing needs for future planning horizon years. Application of the standards will occur in subsequent analysis sections to reaffirm community trends or as a tool in guiding Lakeville decision-makers. The following analysis provides a comparison of Lakeville’s park system with standards established by the National Park and Recreation Association. The national standards provide the foundation for the City’s park standards pertaining to park classification service areas and per capita acreage. This comparison provides a general benchmark for evaluating the adequacy of the existing system as well as forecasting future need. Following this general comparison, a more detailed evaluation of the City’s various park classification and search need was conducted to address park and recreation issues unique solely to Lakeville.
