The following list consists of key points from the needs analysis: • The City of Paris needs to focus on top quality upgrades and renovations to existing parks. • Trails are needed for more connectivity throughout the community and to encourage healthier lifestyles. • Existing parks and facilities need to continually be upgraded and maintained at a high level in order to keep Paris' park system up to local standards and safe for all users. This includes making all public parks and facilities compliant with the ADA guidelines. • A multi - purpose sports practice field with lights needs to be constructed. • A sprayground/small water park is needed for water based recreation. • Additional restrooms are needed throughout town at multiple different parks. • An indoor recreation center needs to be considered in Paris. • An indoor swimming facility is desired for both competitive and recreational use. • Nature trails, playgrounds, pavilions, enhanced landscaping, picnic areas at the parks and multi -use paved trails are all needed to satisfy senior citizen's recreational needs. • Additional and upgraded site amenities are needed throughout the park system. • All new park facilities need to be properly designed, well built and maintained at a high level.
