0 Program and Playground Safety Guidelines. In the near-term, the three <br /> highest priority playscape replacements are: <br /> • City Park(which is the oldest) <br /> • Paul Pena Park <br /> • Anita Reyes Park <br /> Action PF-2.6.Add pervious parking lot surfacing, where feasible <br /> or adequate water treatment for parking lots in parks. <br /> Best practices need to be utilized when treating the runoff from <br /> parking lots through the use of pervious cover or proper water <br /> treatment for water quality. Examples of best practices include the use <br /> of permeable pavers as a parking lot surface material and low impact <br /> development detention ponds as a means to capture parking lot <br /> runoff. <br /> GOAL PF-3. CONTINUE TO DEVELOP EXISTING PARK LAND. <br /> Action PF-3.1. Evaluate opportunities to install splash pads in <br /> areas of need. <br /> As identified in the needs analysis(see page 61), the City has a current <br /> C and future deficit in splash pads. Splash pads complement parks and <br /> provide an appealing amenity in the summer. Strategically placing <br /> these throughout the parks system enhances the outdoor experience <br /> for users. Fischer Park in New Braunfels is an example of a neighboring <br /> city with a splash pad.This splash pad is eco-friendly, as it conserves <br /> water through the use of a button.As the City of San Marcos considers <br /> adding more parks and open space resources, it is important to <br /> also consider the support of amenities that improve overall use and <br /> experience, such as additional picnic sites, pavilions, and splash pads. <br /> < _ <br /> . <br /> I <br /> ItFill4retb* t: .:;2°'' ' irk .t <br /> %. <br /> t.' . <br /> . „....4,-toii,%. .,;. ,,,,4. „,,,,,,.4.:-,.,.,r..0%4. /01 I,. ter:4 t .t..:" : f, ;•• <br /> t <br /> ( ilic- 1 ; . ., .
