WHAT’S THE RIGHT FIT BETWEEN AMENITIES AND PARKS?

What criteria can help us place future amenities? How do we match amenities with parks? We identify the following considerations:

> Limited access to the amenity type in the part of Tracy where the park is located.

> Capacity of park site to accommodate additional amenities.

> Opportunity to enhance or activate a park site by re-envisioning with different amenities.

> Ease of access by all modes of travel, for amenities that serve the larger community.

> Larger-footprint, active recreation facilities (e.g. athletic fields) are a good fit for community parks that serve as destinations with a citywide draw.

> Smaller-footprint amenities (e.g. bocce ball) are a good fit for smaller parks.
