<br />The service area is generally the entire "community" where the park is located and <br /> <br />is not necessarily limited by high traffic streets with or without appropriate controJJed <br /> <br />crossings. <br /> <br />Regional Parks provide large areas with diverse qualities for outdoor recreation. <br /> <br />Activities and uses may include wildlife habitat and conservation, swimming, <br /> <br />picnicking, hiking, fishing, boating, camping, trails, and concentrated athletic <br /> <br />activities and facilities. These parks may also combine the uses recommended for <br /> <br />Neighborhood Parks and Community Parks. The intent of Regional Parks is to <br /> <br />provide large areas for recreation accessible to the entire service region. Facilities, <br /> <br />such as concession sales, concession rides (train, boat, etc.), eating <br /> <br />establishments, or even lodging facilities that assist in prolonging visitor stay in San <br /> <br />Marcos may be incorporated into this category of parks. <br /> <br />Greenspace is an added classification not included in the San Marcos Horizons. <br /> <br />This category can include land that is environmentally sensitive, has unique <br /> <br />environmental qualities, or has a unique character that needs to be preserved. Due <br /> <br />to the uniqueness of these types of tracts, they should be acquired as available with <br /> <br />little or no regard to service area, size and population service area. Most of the <br /> <br />land use within this category will be reserved for conservation and/or passive <br /> <br />recreation. However, active recreational uses, where appropriate and necessary, <br /> <br />should not be excluded. <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 9 of 26 <br />
