Legislative intent

The recreation district is an area designed to provide for the preservation and enhancement of open spaces in the city and to foster passive and active recreational activities. It is realized that open spaces for recreation contribute greatly to improving the quality of life, enhancing property values and promoting general well-being among the city's residents. The comprehensive land use plan identifies a need to provide opportunities to enjoy recreational facilities, open spaces and natural resources and further recommends protecting, enhancing and maintaining access to recreational facilities. It then is the intent of this district to provide for conserving existing open spaces primarily used for recreation and to acquire additional suitable lands for inclusion in this district.
