INTRODUCTION The Recreation and Open Space Element for the City of Palm Beach Gardens provides a summary of existing recreation and open space facilities and lands, recommends desired levels of service for meeting the recreation needs of existing and future residents, and identifies how the city can ensure that the needs are met. In 1970, Palm Beach Gardens had 6,105 permanent residents. By 1990, the permanent population of the city had increased to 22,985. In 1988, the city annexed approximately 5,000 acres of undeveloped land that has a great potential for future development. An additional 935 acres were annexed in 1990. In light of such rapid growth, it is critically important that the recreation needs of existing and projected residents are met in a timely and fiscally responsible manner. H. EXISTING CONDITIONS • Parks and recreation lands and facilities in Palm Beach Gardens are provided and maintained by several entities. These include the Palm Beach Gardens Recreation and Parks Department and • private developments.' However, the most active and visible supplier of recreation facilities in the city is the Palm Beach Gardens Recreation and Parks Department. The Department is responsible for recommending the acquisition, development, and maintenance of all city -owned parks and related facilities. The Parks and Recreation Department was chosen by the National Recreation and Parks Association (NRPA) as a National Gold Medal Award Finalist in 1982, 1987, and 1988, and was cited as one of the top four parks and recreation departments in the country. The Department won this Award in 1989, and was cited as the best parks and recreation department in the country for its population class. The Department presently consists of 4-0 54 full -time recreation staff and 4-6 34 full -time narks staff. Numerous 1 ._.._._....�..; 1.)Uil 1:;..., vui��.vJ,l.b iui..i Uv...�.:1i.7V- /V VUlUtawGiJ i11L z11JU I.JJGIIIl�u lv 1111+y1VblcuL. The Department offers programs for age groups ranging from toddlers to senior citizens. The program is well diversified from Aquatics to a Community Theater Group. Thus, the Department serves as a model parks and recreation department in the field of programs. A seven - member advisory board composed of city residents meets once a month to assist the Department in formulating ideas for expansion and meeting citizen needs. ROS - SUPPORT DOCUMENT 6/98 7 -1 ordinance 4, 1998 EAR -Based Amendment • optimum definition of park facilities. As a result, attainment of these standards varies by specific, individual community needs. Applications of these standards to smaller, residential communities • is often difficult and inappropriate. Thus, these standards should be viewed only as a guide for analyzing existing facilities in the city and when projecting the types of needs for future facilities. • NEIGHBORHOOD PARK The neighborhood park is a "walk to ", park, generally located along streets wherL people can walk or bicycle without encountering heavy traffic. It serves the population of a neighborhood in a radius of up to one -half mile and generally has 2 acres for each 1,000 population. The desirable size is 15 acres. Because the service areas of.a neighborhood park and an elementary school often coincide, it is desirable for the neighborhood park to physically join the elementary school when feasible. Both park and school serve the same basic population, share compatible land uses, and maintain recreation facilities that are of mutual benefit. Since recreation needs vary from one neighborhood to another, site design should be flexible in order to meet the particular recreation needs of a neighborhood. Site design should also reflect the character of a neighborhood and incorporate compatible elements of both passive and active types of recreation. The park area should be suitable for intense recreational activities. Typical facilities developed in a neighborhood park may include play apparatus, recreation buildings, multi- purpose courts, sports fields, picnic areas, and free play areas. Additional facilities may be added depending on the recreation demands of a neighborhood. . COMMUNITY PARK A community park is a "ride to" park located near major streets or arterials. It is designed to serve the needs of four to six neighborhoods - which may be said to constitute a community - and serves community residents within a radius of up to three miles. Non - vehicular access to community parks is an important aspect of these parks. Non - vehicular access can be enhanced by bike paths and pedestrian walkways. A minimum of 25 acres for each community park is recommended, with acreage needs based on an optimum standard of 5 acres per 1,000 population. A community nark —A-1 la.iilbv V+ 1»�+b1�Y11J i111U Lil'v111L—v W1 Ji.1Jl UJ It 111.16L1L)W1A0u - park fulfills the recreation needs of a neighborhood, a community park is designed to meet the recreation needs of an entire community. • The park area should be suitable for intense recreational activities. Typical facilities at a community park include swimming pools, ball fields, tennis courts, play areas, picnic areas, multi- purpose courts, recreation buildings, and sports fields. Additional recreation facilities may be included to • ROS - SUPPORT DOCUMENT 6/98 7 - 3 ordinance 4, 1998 EAR -Based Amendment ' • • A complete inventory of all developed public and private recreation facilities in the city is presented in Table 7 -2. As stated previously, privately supplied facilities constitute a substantial number of the facilities available to residents. Table 7 -2 indicates that all but one soccer /multi - purpose and all but two softball/baseball/t -ball fields are public while all boat ramps and golf eacirses are private facilities.

The city organizes, schedules, and staffs numerous recreation programs and classes including arts and 'crafts, dance, athletics, exercise, community theater, and continuing education classes. A wide variety of special events are also provided. The programs are funded through a combination of general revenues and user fees. The number of programs offered and participation varies throughout the year and is, therefore, difficult to measur6: However, it is estimated that in 47 1996, the city offered over 4-58 120 programs, classes, and athletic events which involved approximately i1?,8$8 258.208 user - visits. This rate of participation yielded a ratio of 93 8.1 user- visits per each permanent resident of the city in 1987. M. NEEDS ANALYSIS Vision The Citv completed _a visioninp- vrocess in December. 1996. Included in the discussions was public provision of parks and recreational facilities The community made strong statements about increasing the level of parks recreational facilities and programs that are offered to residents. It was widely felt that the level of service adopted by the City was too low. and did not meet the actual need of the community. It was recommended that a dual level of service be adopted comprised of a standard for park land and a standard for facilities By doing this it is felt that active recreation needs will be better addressed through the recreational ts that will be required in order to maintain the facility standards. Other than level of service standards the visioning effort included a mapping exercise in which the community designated ideal uses on the vacant properties in the City. Future park sites were included in this manning, exercise Conceptually, new park sites are desirable adjacent to the Dwyer High School and the Timber Trace Elementary School The City is fortunate that both cue. pWal park sites are located on property owned by the John D And Qatherine T MacArthur Foundation the largest landowner in Palm Beach Gardens The City has the onnortunjty to work with the Foundation to meet recreation needs and_ locate fiiiive narks in theses uiullo wNwai rneans ttiaL lilt: vision is witaw oul KIdsp- ROS - SUPPORT DOCUMENT 6/98 7 - 8 ordinance 4, 1998 EAR -Based Amendment 0 • • • .�•s��r :ter ROS - SUPPORT DOCUMEMT 6/.98 7 -10 Ordinance 4, 1998 EAR -Based Amendment • • • 11 Facility Golf Course Picnic Area Marina Docks TABLE 7 -2 EXISTING PUBLIC AND PRIVATE RECREATION FACILITIES CITY OF PALM BEACH GARDENS (continued) Public Total Total Recreation (City) Private Facilities 1 3 4 4 0 0 Jacuzzi 0 Soccer/ 10 Multi- Purpose Fields 0 Softball /Baseball /T -Ball 23 Gymnasium 1 Horseshoes 6 Fishing Area 2 (no boating) Food Concession 5 2 1 2 2 0 0 0 0 0 5] 6 1 2 2 10 23 1 6 2 5 * Major differences exist between public and private recreation centers.

For the purposes of this element, future recreation and open space needs are based upon the permanent, incorporated, city -wide population only. However, it is recognized that interlocal agreements and coordination between the city and other agencies can enhance the recreational opportunities of the city residents and neighboring residents of the unincorporated area. (See Figure 7 -3 also 1 In 1990, the permanent population of the city was reported by the U.S. Census at 22,965. Therefore, based on the amount of improved, public recreation lands in 1990, the level of service of park lands i-s in 1990 was 5.41 acres per 1,000 residents. Currently residents are Provided 4,91 acres /1.000 persons This is based on the 1997 population estimate of 35 436 and recreation invent of 14 . acres of park land.' In an effort to minimize deficiencies and set an acceptable level of service standard, the city has determined that 33 3.7 acres per 1,000 will supply the current level of recreation demand. , Through the `visioning effort feted in Decem er 6 communi c nsensus directed the ado ted level of service standard COM12 for land to be increased from 3.5 acres /1 000 to 4.2 acre s /1.000. The facility levels of service _park were al eloped as a result of the visioning process The consensus demonstrates the residents' •des. facilities to be provided by the itv in addition to • ires for adequate public parks and recreation ► 'ate facilities located in the various neighborhoods Over the next several years the Citv will pri strive to increase its level of service standards to the desired level of 4.2 acre—s/1,0 Q residents, and to formals adopt facility standards as a component of the concurre & management system. Currently the Citv is able to increase from 3.5 acres/1.100 to 3.7 improved acres /1 000 residents. The `vision' directs the City to adopt a tiered l which includes urban and standards It has been determined that rural parks are not ap- ropnate since the area is rural comprised of large lot estates which have own spaces for activities that would be provided in neighborhood parks Rath er the rural standard is for residentq to expect to drive to nearby community and distri t parks for organs . d active recreation. 1 The Westminster site (4 acres) is included in the recreation inventory since it has been acquired and is available for passive recreation opportunities and indoor programs. • ROS - SUPPORT DOCUMENT 6/98 7 -14 Ordinance 4,1998 • EAR -Based Amendment • 0 Table 7 -3 Ideal Recreation Facility Standards ACILITIES evel of Service tandards 1 ennis Courts 1 er 4 000 Shuffleboard Courts 1 per 7,500 Racquetball Courts 1 per 15,000 asketball Courts 1 per 10,000 occer Fi Ids Lper 4,500 o ball Fields 1 per 6,000 -Ball Fields 1 per 8,000 Baseball Efield per 5 00 oller ocke inks 1 per 20 000 1 er 30 0 0 1 er 10 000 ea 1 er 10 000 pkgtepark.5 r e 1 er 30 000 Trail 1 er 20 0 0 nd o Lo 1 er 7 000 oe 1 per 7,000 Fishing Area on boat 1 per 20,600 Boat Accm 1 per 4Q,000 Nature Center 1 per 90,000 Communfty Swimming .25 s.f. per capita 2 Pool Recreation Centers 1 per 25,009 olf Course 18 Hole 1 per 10 ARKS ..Jii'JG'J T ommunily Park 4.2 acres_ e W Level of Service standards are based on permanent population.

Looking at the well- tended baseball diamonds at Phipps Park, it's easy believing that. Lush green grass frames the rich clay of the baseball diamond. Long dugouts with pine benches hug the field. A refreshment stand, clubhouse and five more diamonds are staggered throughout the park. But drive a.mite•and. a�l'iaff south to Mary Brandon park •- good Itick firiding it, there's no sign - and'it's a different experience. A Gilbey's vodka bottle, a Budweiser can, broken glass, cigar butts and other debris sprinkle the park like dust. The field is more sand than grass and is striped with tire tracks. Two swing sets stand next to another set with its • swings snipped off. The metal rim of a basket dangles precariously from a basketball backboard. Welcome to the West Palm Beach parks, a motley system of more than 370 acres of green space with a serious Jekyll and Hyde complex. It's a system so troubled that even the officials who run it use'words such as "horrendous" to describe. City officials have until March 14 to persuade residents that the mess can be fixed and that the city can run a good parks system - as long as homeowners are willing to pick up the tab. Voters will decide whether to approve $20 million in parks improvements from a bond issue that will require a property tax increase. The bonds would cost the owner of a $125,000 house with a homestead exemption an extra $39 a year for the next 20 years. Almost every night until March 14, commissioners or city officials will meet with neighborhood groups to promote the plan and explain where the money will go. But as they go about the city stumping for the bond issue, commissioners expect to hear one question again and again: What happened to the $14 million you promised to spend on the same parks two years ago? • The answer: It's still theme. Well, most of it anyway. The city has now begun to spend the money but only about $2 million has been spent so far. ... /display.cgi ?id= 3d32d7fl 3f3c3Mpgaweb 1 P 11013 &doc= printdoc. html &url= http %3a %2f%2i7/15/2002 Before parks officials started spending the money, they met several times with • neighbors of 17 parks to get feedback and design it to their needs. "It took us a year just to come up with a plan for these parks," said Laura Schuppert, the city's recreation director. "But things will take off in the next three months. By this summer, the city will be in a construction zone." Already, Schuppert is beefing up her maintenance staff to keep the parks clean and looking not quite so ratty. But even after that's done and the $14 million set aside in 1998 is gone, city officials say the $20 million bond issue will be needed because many parks went without money for 10 to 15 years. Consultant urged spending The drive to clean up the parks began in earnest several years ago and picked up steam after a 1997-study by the Orlando consulting firm Glattind,•Jackson, . Kercher Iric. The firm concluded the parks were. poorly maintained and said many were developed in a haphazard manner. Its antidote: spend more than $10 million on the most pressing needs in various parks and community centers, then find additional money for a long list of other badly needed improvements. The commission set aside the $10 million and anted up an additional $4 million • for other park improvements and the Northwood Community Center, which was added after heavy lobbying by former City Commissioner Howard Warshauer and Northwood residents. But that will just get things started, city officials say. Schuppert said the city will need the extra $20 million to finish lifting the parks system from shabby to shiny, finishing off projects that parks staff had failed to get money for in previous years and the other projects recommended in the 1997 consultant's report. But for many residents, it's a tough sell. "I'm kind of thinking we should take care of what we have instead of making new stuff," said Sue Weeg, an activist with the Old Northwest Neighborhood. "VA /r- -,nrt of can't take care of what we have now." And commissioners must convince the city's western communities that already have their own recreational facilities that there's something in it for them. "We don't need tennis courts, racquetball courts and most of the other things they're offering us," said Ron Wise, director of operations for the Villages of Palm Beach Lakes, which includes 6,000 homes. "They haven't convinced me yet." 0 . ' Even residents in the city,'s southern neighborhoods, seen by many as important allies of the measure, seem reluctant to have their taxes increased. . /display.cgi ?id= 3d32d7fl 3f3c3Mpgawebl P 11013& doc= printdoc.html &url= http %3a %2f%2 7/15/2002 •Kathy Willis visits South Olive Park every day with her 16- month -old son Trent. The park stands to get $2.4 million in renovations if voters approve the bond issue, but Willis said she's happy with her park the way it is. "Our taxes are high enough," Willis said. Commissioners are spending $28,000 on "educating" voters on the parks issue. Richard Giorgio, a political consultant with Patriot Games, is managing the city's campaign. A video is being produced that will be aired on Comcast and local TV stations, and brochures and an information flier stuffed into this month's water utility bill have already been published. City courts neighborhoods But the most vital part of the campaign is the wooing of neighborhood groups, which can control voting blocs of support for the bond issue. "Yeah, getting the neighborhoods. on board'.is.going to make this thing work," said Commission President Jeff Koons; who has helped raise about $11,000 through a political action committee to drum up support for the parks. "And we have most neighborhoods on board. "It's the city's time to get its house in order," Koons said. "If we don't get • this approved, the parks will stay the same and, to put it bluntly, people won't invest any more of their private dollars in West Palm Beach." Flamingo Park's neighborhood leadership was impressed. "We took a vote on Tuesday to support the referendum and we're going to take a fairly active role in getting this measure passed," said Linda Cullen, president of the Flamingo Park Association, which represents 425 homes. "There's not a lot of emotion about it, so our support can go far." As can any organized opposition. "The western communities are dead set against it," said Jerry Greenfield, who is on the Ibis Golf & Country Club advisory board and whose newsletter reaches 700 homes.

Aaronson wanted to combine both issues into one ballot ques- lion but couldn't do it That's be- cause all county taxpayers would Eay for the arts and parks bonds, ut only sonic would pay for county libraries. Some cities have �- C sioner -Pony Masilotti men- tioned putting .. "' the measures on a special d election ballot in March. Aside from giving the issue time to Aaronson gain popularity, it would ensure that a higher percentage of ener- gized supporters showed up at the polls. To gamer support, commis- sioners plan to divvy up the $50 million arts and parks bond equally among the seven county commission districts. 17hat way, no commissioner .would walk away shortchanged. In cities like West Palm Beach, -where voters have approved a E bond issue, all the new • bond money could spent on alts centers. And in districts such as Aaronson s, where there are no cities, the bonds could help cre- ate new parks. County Parks Director Den- nis Eshleman said he'll start ask- ! ing commissioners what parks l and recreation centers they !night want. Will Ray, executive director of life Palm Beach County Cultural Council, will do the same. • The council has winnowed a list of 60 arts organizations building new centers down to 22. llie money from the proposed bdnds would supplement sonic of those construc. tion projects. ' Ray said the commissioners t decision to put the referendum on the ballot was as signill- cant as its 1982 decision to Masilo tti spend hotel tax money on cul- tural programs. °11iis is a blueprint. for the fu- ture," he said. 'Ilse cultural codncil began its campaign for cash in late June, when it told county commission- ers that its main source of money, hotel bed taxes, wasn't cutting it. Cewer tourists stayed in county hotels after Sept. 11, reducing bed -lac collections countywide by about $2 trillion. Ray said it's time to add new money sources to the cultural community because the size and sophistication of Palm Beach County is growing. That argument mirrors the li• brary systems need to expand. —lie population is growing at such a rate that the can't keep up," said Kathy Boyes, county library community relations manager. "People have been unhappy be. cause we don't have enough space.' While population in Palm Beach County grew 37 percent from 1990 to 2000, library circu• lotion grew 74 percent. Last year, county libraries circulated 5.3 million items and hart 3.5 w;I!!ev visits. Building room? A survey by the Palm Beach County Cultural Council came up with 22 cultural projects planned or under way, with a price tag of $270 million. A survey of 60 county organizations was conducted this week and is not complete. The county commission has contributed about $10 million to some projects.
