• Good variety of types and amenities
• Newer parks have unique character
• More shade is needed
• Minor drainage and erosion issues

team inventoried The City’s HOA parks
and facilities:

were identified and inventoried

the total of publicly accessible
developed park acreage in Chandler

Level of Service
Level of Service and Contribution Strategy Methodology
Level of Service population based standards are developed using
a combination of local, regional and national resources, including:
• Current Level of Service and Utilization
• Current Inventory and its condition ratings
• Opportunity to acquire and develop/redevelop park land
• Recreation participation rates
• Prioritization of Community Need
• Operational and Financial Sustainability
Trail and Conservation Park Assumptions
•
Population based standards are NOT developed for:
o Conservation Park Acreage
o Trail Miles
•
Conservation Park acquisition is based on resource
location and opportunity to acquire this typology of park
land rather than City population
•
Trail Miles is based on developing a connected network
rather than City population
