<br />Section 2 Scoce of the Studv <br /> <br />The use of the tenn masterplan is defined in many ways by many people. Therefore, this <br />section is dedicated to laying out the groundwork. . . the outline of the study. The following <br />elements are specifically included in this masterplan: <br /> <br />Section 3. Plan Development Process. This section describes the public <br />input sought, the results of those efforts, and how the masterplan came to <br />be fonnulated. <br /> <br />Section 4. Statement of Goals and Objectives. This section discusses <br />the local goals for parks and recreation and locally established criteria for <br />detennining the availability of park and recreation facilities. Additionally, this <br />section describes in generic terms local standards for construction. <br /> <br />Section 5. Inventory. Perhaps the most usable information to be gleaned <br />from this masterplan is the inventory of recreational facilities which describes <br />city and school district owned outdoor recreational facilities alike. <br /> <br />Section 6. Needs assessment. From the public participation and the <br />inventory of facilities, a needs assessment is made showing in which areas <br />the park facilities are deficient and where improvement can be made. This <br />is the meat of the masterplan where the priorities for the city are set out in <br />writing. <br /> <br />Section 7. Plan implementation. The plan implementation sets forth the <br />methodology for meeting the needs detennined in the section on needs <br />assessment. Both timing and financing are discussed and some cost <br />projections are made. The overall plan is broken down into manageable <br />phases. <br /> <br />Appendix. Supporting documents. The masterplan also contains exhibits <br />such as maps, charts, tables, and illustrations. <br /> <br />What elements are not included in this masterplan? This masterplan includes only the <br />facilities owned by the City of Paris, Paris lndependent School District, some more <br />significant privately owned recreational facilities, and Paris Junior College's facilities. For <br />the most part only outdoor recreation activities are catalogued. Gymnasiums, weight lifting, <br />aerobics, and similar health club type facilities are not included. <br /> <br />This masterplan does not set forth site recommendations for developing or renovating <br />existing parks. No detailed space studies have been made nor extensive analysis of the <br />condition of equipment. No attempt was made to identify all aspects of handicapped <br />accessibility or non-accessibility. These items were beyond the scope of this study. <br /> <br />-2- <br />
