Football Fields <br />One field is currently in operation, which is adequate for San Marcos. Arrangements can be <br />made to utilize soccer fields in order to address the football demand for non - contact leagues <br />provided by the City. <br />Pools <br />Pools are adequately serving the community at this time. The San Marcos River provides the <br />bulk of the water recreation. As new developments occur, private pools will serve much of the <br />population, while any new pools for the city can be combined with community centers (if <br />needed). For existing neighborhoods and neighborhood parks, splash pads are a good <br />opportunity to provide a water - related activity without the long -term staffing and continual <br />maintenance costs. <br />Walking /Jogging Trails (miles) <br />One of the highest priority items through our public meetings and standards research is trails. <br />Currently, the city has approximately 5 -miles of trail contained with the park system. There are <br />no national guidelines for amount of trail miles recommended per city, but this plan <br />recommends at least doubling the amount of trail available to the public. A key opportunity in <br />achieving this level of service is utilizing the surplus of greenspace in and throughout the ETJ. <br />This plan focuses on trail connections between parks and along water /drainage corridors. Any <br />trail within a particular park is considered in addition to the 10 -mile goal. Trails are discussed <br />further in the implementation section of the document. <br />80 <br />
