without children, while the percent of non-family households has declined somewhat during the same time period. The result of this is a slight increase in the numbers of family households without children (i.e., married couples).

Chapter 3 Inventory of Existing Park, Trail & Open Space Facilities The City of Lakeville is serviced by a variety of recreational facilities provided by the city, regional government, school districts and private enterprise. In addition, the community has limited benefits from abutting communities whose facilities may service Lakeville’s residents. This chapter summarizes these existing parks, trails and open space facilities and the resources currently available to Lakeville residents. Existing Park Classification System Lakeville’s park system is comprised of a variety of sites & facilities which conform to a classification hierarchy according to their use, size and facility development. Park classification assists in providing a comprehensive system which responds to the community’s needs, its land-use patterns and densities and the area’s physical characteristics. The classification system is based upon nationally recognized park types with modifications made for local conditions and Lakeville’s specific needs. It is a tool to assist Lakeville’s decision-makers in determining park locations, sizes and functions. Specific standards and criteria are recommended for each park class, however, compromises may be required as dictated by local circumstances. Community Park Community parks should be differentiated from neighborhood parks by two factors: size and function. Community parks should be a minimum of 25 acres in size with facilities or uses targeted for the entire City. Their location should capitalize upon lakes, rivers, or wooded areas which appeal to larger groups and provide for community-wide access. Facilities should be sized and developed to accommodate large crowds and special events. Community festivals, events and holidays should be considered when locating and planning such parks. Facilities are often related to the park’s natural resource base. Activities typically include walking, picnicking (family and large group), viewing, water sports, passive sports and organized community events. Service Area: Per Capita Standard: Desirable Size in Acres: Community wide Five to eight acres per 1,000 people Minimum size 25 acres, with 50 to 100 acres most desired.
