Available City Facilities for Programming Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update 2011 City of Marquette The Lakeview Arena Facilities within the Park System; e.g. parks, beaches, marinas, trails The Marquette Commons Tourist Park Campground Available Facilities for Programming by Others Detailed in Table 5.1 Program Service Area – Primary, Secondary and Tertiary The primary service area for the programs, services and facilities provided by the City is its city limits. The secondary service area for the programs, services and facilities provided by the City is an area which includes surrounding Townships. The tertiary service area for the facilities provided by the City are both regional and national. Program and Service Options Direct Provider – The Parks and Recreation Division is a direct provider of facilities which accommodate programs as produced by others. Facilitator – The Parks and Recreation Division is a program facilitator for numerous other providers who use city-owned facilities. Recreation Program Conclusions 1. A mechanism must be created which addresses the high percentage of non-resident users of city-owned facilities which results in an imbalance of funding for city taxpayers. 2. There is a significant economic impact on the community by visitors who travel to the area to use its many attractions. This awareness should result in the allocation of resources to market, manage and maintain these areas at the highest possible level. 3. Given several conditions as detailed below, the most appropriate role for the Parks and Recreation Division is to serve as a facilitator, and not a direct provider, of programs and services. Those conditions include the following: A depressed economy Willingness of others to organize and produce programs and services Citizen preferences for activities which are self-directed such as running, walking and spending time outdoors and events which are currently organized and produced by others such as special events, live theater and concert performances 75
