The City's Department of Recreation, Parks and Cultural Activities is responsible for the System's planning, management and maintenance. The park system provides a variety of active and passive facilities including athletic fields, playgrounds, recreation courts, trails, picnic areas, marina, pools, natural areas and dog exercise areas. The Park Facility Standards Manual (Standards) establishes minimum design, construction and performance expectations for the City's park features. The intent of the Standards is to inform and guide park and open space planning, capital improvements and capital maintenance and to sustain life -cycle resource investments in public space. The Standards are a reference instrument for selection of materials, fixtures, and systems and integrate City criteria with industry standards and applicable Federal/State/City requirements into a primary -single source document. Anticipated benchmarks for performance/function, safety, environmental impact, and anticipated maintenance/life-cycle resource needs are established by each Standard. Although established in Summer, 2012, the Park Facility Standards Manual is a living document that is updated and re-evaluated coincident with advancements in industry, changes in the City's park and open space system, and recreational needs.
