Inter - Governmental Parks Work Group
Coordinated Parameters f or Parks Standards
May 23 , 2001
Item # 5 in the charge to the IP Work Group is
" To develop parameters for parks standards ( leaving flexibility for the
actual standards to vary f rom jurisdiction to jurisdiction within these
parameters ) . "
Intent
Originally , the recommendation from the JMRP Work Group was develop to dl a
i
set of Countywide standards for parks and recreation . Upon further
discussion , it was recognized that there were benefits to individual
j jurisdictions retaining the flexibility to set their own standards for service .
However , the need for consistency ( especially if more joint parks projects
were to be considered ) warranted some coordinating mechanism for
standards . Thus , the language was revised to call for the development of
parameters , or principles , within which each jurisdiction would set their
own parks and recreations standards
Types of Standards
Service Area ( population based ) Standards that call for a certain acreage
or number of facilities based on population , typically per 1000 persons
Geographic : Standards that call for facilities to be located geographically
so as to serve a certain area . Driving time is an example of a geographic
based standard
Combination / Other ? : Many plans include a combination of service area and
geographic standards . In addition , there may be other methods of setting
and measuring standards for parks and recreation needs and service
Key Question
Are there common principles or parameters that the County, Carrboro,
Chapel Hill, Hillsborough and Mebane all share for parks and recreation ?
