<br />PARK CLASSIFICATIONS, STANDARDS and INVENTORY OF AREAS <br /> <br />AND FACILITIES <br /> <br />The park classifications address function, intended service areas, uses, resource <br /> <br />availability, design characteristics, preferred locations and community-wide spatial <br /> <br />requirements. Park standards that are unique to the community exist (or should exist) so <br /> <br />that adequate park and open space land can be provided. <br /> <br />The San Marcos Horizons' plan identified several parks, recreation and cultural resources <br /> <br />goals and also identified and classified the existing parks according to size and use. The <br /> <br />Park Classifications and size provided in the San Marcos Horizons are as follows (no <br /> <br />service radius or acreage per 1000 population were provided): <br /> <br />Regional Parks <br /> <br />over 10 acres in size <br /> <br />Community Parks <br /> <br />generally less than 10 acres in size <br /> <br />Neighborhood Parks <br /> <br />generally less than 5 acres in size <br /> <br />The Community Facilities Plan in the San Marcos Horizons also gave descriptions for <br /> <br />each type of park, and included the type of facilities and services they should provide. <br /> <br />According to the San Marcos Horizons, the Regional Parks provide facilities for all of San <br /> <br />Marcos and the surrounding area. The Community Parks provide facilities for all of San <br /> <br />Marcos' residents and the Neighborhood Parks provide facilities for specific residential <br /> <br />neighborhoods. <br /> <br />City of San Marcos <br />Parks, Recreation and Open Space Master Plan <br /> <br />City Council Draft (corrections made 06/14/02) <br /> <br />Page 7 of 26 <br />
