8.1. Recreation‚ Parks and Open Space
Park land or open space most often serves two functions: environmental enhancement or protection and recreation. If the primary purpose of open space is for the protection of people and investment from hazards, location principles should include considerations of setbacks from flood zones and prohibition of development in fire areas or on unstable hill slopes. If the purpose of open space is for the protection of natural amenities and environmental systems, then ecosystems need to be identified and standards applied to preserve plant life, water bodies, erosion, wildlife, infiltration and run-off, etc. The development of recreation on these spaces should be in keeping with the protection of natural
amenities and future impacts to natural environmental systems.
The municipality should have numerous tennis courts, ball fields, a football field, a horseshoe arena, parks and playgrounds, and a luge run. Recreational facilities are often costly expenditures to construct and maintain. There are issues relating to facilities being accessible to all residents while, at the same time, preventing the expensive duplication of facilities in multiple areas. There is also the problem of the limited room on the valley floor to accommodate all land use activities, including recreational uses, so they do not conflict with one another. The adjacent forest reserve may be used to provide recreational opportunities, while helping to alleviate pressure on the municipality to provide additional land and facilities for recreation use. The challenge for the municipality is in attempting to expand

recreational opportunities without placing harm or undue strain on the environment.
The municipality’s urban development is basically situated in a large park-like environment. In terms of parks and open space, the municipality compares very favorably to the average park and open space planning standards.
While some adjacent land is in a more natural state, other land is intensely developed. The provision of land for park space (or money in place of land to develop park space) is legislated, to be considered at the time of land being subdivided. The purpose of this legislation is to ensure that areas of land are provided as open space amenities as land is developed.
If the local population continues to age, this could result in a desire for more unstructured park areas (passive parks), pathways and environmentally-themed activities such as walking/hiking, photography, fishing, nature appreciation, etc.
