4%, <br /> 4111 <br /> Park, Recreation, Open Space and Trail Plan <br /> The City of New Brighton has historically maintained a comprehensive park and recreation plan for the <br /> community. This section of the comprehensive plan is to provide (on general terms) an overview of <br /> existing conditions and a basic framework for the City of New Brighton's future park, recreation, open <br /> space and trail system. Attached to the comprehensive plan as an appendix is a more detailed and <br /> descriptive park by park analysis called the City of New Brighton Comprehensive Park and Recreation <br /> Plan completed by the Park and Recreation Department and Commission. This appendix is a "concept <br /> plan" only. When individual parks are to be improved, a detailed plan will be prepared and presented to <br /> the City Council with opportunity for the citizens of New Brighton to comment. <br /> Existing Parks Inventory <br /> Through the various neighborhood meetings it became evident that parks in New Brighton are the <br /> primary neighborhood activity centers and are the parts of the community that residents identify most <br /> with. Overall the community is very satisfied with its park system. Based on national park standards, <br /> New Brighton has an adequate land supply of various park types to meet its current population base. The <br /> most significant changes in the park system will consist of programs, which must adapt to a changing <br /> demographic profile and user demand. <br /> The charts and tables on the following pages indicate the status of parkland in the community. <br /> • <br /> August 4, 1999 Page 9.34 <br /> New Brighton Comprehensive Plan <br />
