15 <br />Orange County Comprehensive Parks and Recreation Master Plan <br />CHAPTER 1- Summary of the Plan <br />Recommendation 9 — Examine the Role of <br />Community Centers in Providing Public Recreation <br />Opportunities: <br />Orange County currently operates one community <br />center (Efland- Cheeks), and is poised to own two <br />additional centers by the end of 2015. In recent <br />years, considerable interest has been expressed by <br />residents in these communities about the level of <br />service provision and operating hours for these cen- <br />ters, and it is expected that this issue will continue <br />to be a challenge. The County may wish to take a <br />comprehensive look at the current and planned fu- <br />ture centers, the level of service that is financially <br />and socially practical, and the role that these centers <br />play in community life. <br />1 -12 <br />Issues for Further Study <br />As with many plans for the future, some examina- <br />tions lead to more questions.
