r <br /> 13 <br /> Orange County Coinprehensive Parks and Recreation Master Plan <br /> CHAPTER 3 -Park Inventory/Assessment <br /> Park Inventory and Assessment <br /> Introduction: Orange County residents and visitors have benefitted from bond referenda approved by voters <br /> in 1997 and 2001. These bonds provided $23 million for the purchase and preservation of land and the devel- <br /> opment of Parks, Recreation and Open Space facilities. Of this, $13.5 million was dedicated to use within Or- <br /> ange County jurisdiction. The remainder was provided for the municipalities. More than $2 million in grant <br /> funding has been received for Orange County and partner projects, and additional millions of dollars in fund- <br /> ing from alternative sources have also been used. Between 2000 and 2011 the majority of this funding has <br /> been put to use in the purchase of property and the development of the properties identified on the map and <br /> described within this chapter. Efland-Cheeks and Central Recreation community centers were already in <br /> place, but improvements and expansions were made to the facilities. Currently more than 1,500 acres of <br /> publicly-held and protected land is included within the Orange County park and preserve inventory. More <br /> than one million people are welcomed each year into Orange County Parks and Recreation facilities. <br /> 1 <br /> mss" 157 fr' <br /> Cedar Grove Park it <br /> and future ComnunityrCenter <br /> Little River <br /> Regional Park <br /> I Future Northeast <br /> FutureUcGowan_ �✓ District Park <br /> Ellan -Cheeks Park Creek Preserve f <br /> and mmunity Center Falrview / <br /> yY► Park (fj ' <br /> To j t Central Recreali on <br /> AAEBAN �` River Park <br /> ruros port H/LLSB, 0 GH Sportplex <br /> Soccercenter - <br /> OA ` <br /> future Seven �0 <br /> We Creek Preserve , f / °� � DU AU <br /> Future Blackwood <br /> f Farm Park <br /> Future <br /> t Future iithouse Hollow Rock_ <br /> Road rk Access Area <br /> Future Roger's Rd. <br /> Future Twin ornm on!ty Center <br /> Creeks Park <br /> HAPEL H <br /> Jones Creek G reenway Y5 <br /> CARRSOR �+ <br /> Orange County <br /> Parks and Preserves <br /> 501 <br /> ;f <br /> 3-1 <br />
