Kathleen Conner DPR RCO Development Plan 2011 RES ATT 1 July 25, 2011 Version #1 Distribution Guidelines for Park & Recreation Facilities Evaluations using Distribution Guidelines that are based on service areas or distances will take into consideration physical barriers to access such as major arterials, water and topography. Service areas are only a starting point for analysis. The location of other similar providers or facilities must be considered. Evaluation will also include consideration of policies and priorities in the City’s adopted Comprehensive Plan. In general, priority will be given to adding park amenities in underserved areas of the City undergoing population growth, particularly those with expected and actual growth in urban center and urban village locations. Boulevards Trails 2011 Development Plan New boulevards will be developed in accordance with the Seattle Transportation Strategic Plan, with undesignated boulevard treatment or greening of streets pursued where feasible and desired by local communities (and as coordinated with Seattle Transportation). New multi-use trails will be developed in accordance with the Bicycle Master Plan, with a goal of having an interconnected system of primary and secondary trails throughout the city (and as coordinated with Seattle Transportation) as well as a variety of trails within all appropriate parks and green spaces. Park Restrooms Park restrooms are desirable in conjunction with larger parks, and normally only in those parks serving scheduled/programmed activities or those with a significant number of drop-in users. Children’s Play Areas A neighborhood or community center children’s play area is desirable within one-half mile of households in areas with 100 to 200 resident children ages 2 to 11 and/or in areas with several day cares/preschools (and as coordinated with Seattle School District). A destination or larger than normal children’s play area is desirable at selected major urban parks. 22 ATT 1 to DPR RCO Development Plan 2011 RES
Kathleen Conner DPR RCO Development Plan 2011 RES ATT 1 July 25, 2011 Version #1 2011 Development Plan Wading Pools and Water Features Soccer Fields A wading pool or water feature is desirable within one to two miles of households in areas with 200 to 500 resident children ages 2 to 11. Priority for wading pool or water feature development shall be given to Summer Playground Program sites. Each sector of the City should have at least one wading pool or water feature. New facilities will normally be water spray features due to increasing costs associated with regulations governing traditional wading pools. A soccer field is desirable within one to two miles of all Seattle households. A sufficient quantity of fields should be provided on a citywide basis to meet scheduling needs (and as coordinated with Seattle School District and other program providers). Most fields will be natural turf, but a selected number of fields shall be maintained as all-weather surfaces to accommodate intensive levels of play. Football Fields A turf football field is desirable within areas with youth football programs. A sufficient quantity of fields should be provided on a citywide to meet scheduling needs (and as coordinated with Seattle School District and other program providers). Softball/Youth Baseball Fields A turf softball/youth baseball field (60’basepaths) is desirable within 1 to 2 miles of all Seattle households. A sufficient quantity of fields should be provided on a citywide basis to meet scheduling needs (and as coordinated with Seattle School District and other program providers). 23 ATT 1 to DPR RCO Development Plan 2011 RES
