V. <strong>Master</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> Proposals and RecommendationsA. Park Land<strong>2020</strong> PARKS & RECREATION MASTER PLANThis master plan has recommended that a district park be within a 1 ½mile radius <strong>of</strong> over 90% <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Huntersville</strong> population. After conductinga service area gap analysis, it was recommended that the <strong>Town</strong> shouldidentify and purchase active park land in the southwestern quadrant <strong>of</strong> thetown. It is recommended that the <strong>Town</strong> acquire at least 100+ acres for thisfuture park.o Southwest Active Park Land: The <strong>Town</strong> is lacking active parklandfor future park development in the southwest portion <strong>of</strong> town. The<strong>Town</strong> should look at partnering with Mecklenburg County to purchaseat least 100+ acres somewhere south <strong>of</strong> Gilead Road and west <strong>of</strong> I-77.o Downtown Park Land: The <strong>Town</strong> should look at acquiring land inthe downtown area. This additional land would allow the <strong>Town</strong> to addpark amenities such as a bandstand, splash pad, gardens, and trails thatwould draw people to the downtown area for community events,festivals and activities.B. New <strong>Parks</strong> and Facilitieso Cook and Pennington Park Land: These properties are on ErvinCook Road just south <strong>of</strong> the Charlotte Mecklenburg Water Treatment<strong>Plan</strong>t and west <strong>of</strong> the Wynfield subdivision. These properties makeup191 acres <strong>of</strong> park land. This park is in a great location with easyaccess from some <strong>of</strong> the town’s largest subdivisions. A future countygreenway also runs along the east side <strong>of</strong> the property. The <strong>Town</strong>should master plan and develop this park land.o Ranson and Rosedale Park Land: These two properties weredonated to the <strong>Town</strong> by the developer <strong>of</strong> Rosedale for a future park.These two properties combined are over 18 acres. Both are bisectedby the future Torrence Creek Greenway. Due to the topography andthe location <strong>of</strong> this site, it would be ideal for more passive uses. Dueto its location within walking distances to hundreds <strong>of</strong> apartmenthomes, townhomes and single family homes, it would be a great sitefor a dog park. The <strong>Town</strong> should master plan and develop this parkland.………………………………………………………………………………………………………NOVEMBER 7, 201152
