Indoor Recreation Center <br />Construct an indoor recreation center at the Sports Complex for multiple recreational <br />opportunities. <br />Senior Citizens <br />Provide facilities such as: multi -use trails, nature trails, playgrounds, botanical gardens, <br />picnic shelters /pavilions, benches and picnic areas for senior citizens at all new and <br />upgraded parks. <br />Maintenance <br />The City ofParis currently has one maintenance employee for approximately every 25 developed <br />park acres. In addition, this same staff maintains all the right -of -ways, medians, ditches and trees <br />on public land inside the city limits. The staffing levels have slowly been falling behind and <br />need to increase in order to keep the maintenance of parks and facilities at a high level. The <br />following two bullets are necessary in order for the city to provide well maintained areas at an <br />efficient cost: <br />Prepare and adopt a statistically- based maintenance study that will increase the <br />maintenance staff and budget as the park system continues to grow. <br />Develop parks that are not overly maintenance intensive by including more natural areas, <br />native plantings and natural play (play opportunities with limited or no playground <br />equipment). <br />Trails <br />• Develop trail linkages throughout Paris to connect schools, residential areas, commercial <br />areas, parks and adjacent communities. <br />► Construct minor trail and sidewalk connections in order to connect large <br />segments of trails for better access throughout the community (See Future Trails <br />Map Pg 40) <br />► Sidewalks are to be used in conjunction with trails to connect different nodes <br />throughout the community. <br />EUM City of Paris Parks, Recreation & Open Space Master Plan 2013 -2023 <br />Page 37 <br />
