2013 RECREATION, PARK, and OPEN SPACE ... - Titusville City Hall

• 2 tennis courts
• BMX track
• Parking lots
• Queen City Trail
• Oil Creek
Recommendations
Like Burgess Park, The Ed Myer Recreation Complex is recommended to be one of the City’s primary parks receiving
a top focus on maintenance and upgrades. The focus should be on maintenance, rehabilitation, and sustainability. A
detailed maintenance plan should be developed and administered to ensure long-term sustainability of the park.
A more detailed description of recommendations is located in Chapter 4 of this report.
Robert’s Grove
Description
Covering a full city block, Roberts Grove is a large neighborhood
park located in the northeast section of the city. The majestic oak
trees found throughout the park are its most striking feature. The
park attracts many users of all ages for mostly passive recreation
opportunities.
While the trees and the extensive trail system are a large part
of the beauty of the park, both require significant maintenance.
The other significant issue with the park is that it is not ADA
compliant. Some attempts have been made to bring it into
compliance but deficiencies will need to be addressed.
Facilities
• Basketball court
• Youth basketball court and hard surface play area
• Concession stand
• Exercise trail with fitness equipment
• Playgrounds
• Grassy play areas
Recommendations
The most significant recommendation for this park is to modify, upgrade, and rehabilitate individual facilities so as to
reduce the amount of maintenance needed at the park. This could include:
• Development and implementation of a systematic plan to maintain this as one of the City’s top parks
• Removal of the wood chip pathways between various pieces of play equipment
• Elimination of the seldom used fitness stations
• Application of herbicides to control unwanted grass and weeds near trees, play equipment, sign posts, etc.
Additional recommendations can be found in chapter 4 of this report.
