The proposed locations are: <br />Bingham Township (in association with Cane Creek Reservoir) <br />Cheeks/Hillsborough Townships (near Corporation Lake) <br />Chapel Hi11 Township (at the existing/proposed landfill sites) <br />Little River/Cedar Grove Townships <br />A district park is typically seventy-five (?5) acres or more, easily <br />accessible to the public and within one-half (1/2) hour driving time. A <br />district park typically includes activity areas found in community parks <br />in addition to an indoor recreation building. A water feature (pond or <br />lake) is typically found within this type of park. <br />Population projections indicate an immediate need for two (2) public <br />swimming pools. In order to maximize resources and avoid duplication of <br />service, it is recommended that these pools be located at the two county <br />high schools. These locations provide the best accessibility to the <br />greatest number of participants. <br /> <br />
