Neighborhood parks, <br /> which serve resi ents within about half-mile (10-minute) walking distance, generally include the following: a <br /> children's play a ea, accessible pathwoys, park furniture such as benches, picnic tables, trash receptacles, and <br /> open space for ecreation and relaxation. They typically do not include the following: restrooms, off-street parking, <br /> programmed at letics, skate parks, dog off-leash areas, and other facilities that attract visitors from a distance <br /> greater than the parks service area. In this case, since the park's athletic fields have been used for many years, <br /> this use may be continued and incorporvted into the park design. <br /> ~ More informati n available at www-euaene-ar.gov/aarlcproiects <br /> <br />
