<br />Orange County Comprehensive Parks and Recreation Master Plan
<br /> CHAPTER 10 - Goals, Objectives, and Recommendations 10
<br />Fortunately, the list of planned facilitfes includes all
<br />of the top prioritfes identffied in the Community
<br />Needs Assessment, with the exceptfon of a
<br />swimming pool. As shown in the preceding tables,
<br />significant funding will be needed over the next
<br />10-12 years to bring the planned and needed new
<br />parks and future phases of existfng parks to
<br />completfon. More funds will be needed to address
<br />renovatfons and replacement of equipment and
<br />facilitfes as existfng parks begin to age and facilitfes
<br />become worn or outdated. Additfonally, the
<br />importance of the Central Recreatfon Center and
<br />Efland-Cheeks Community Center, and the new
<br />community centers at Cedar Grove and Rogers Road,
<br />should be factored in as these facilitfes are likely to
<br />see increased usage for a variety of purposes, and
<br />increased usage over tfme will require replacement
<br />Table 10-2: Parks, Recreation and Public Open Space Projects – Renovation/Replacement Improvements
<br />(Through 2030) (does not include new constructfon costs from Table 11-1)
<br />and renovatfon funding. The Central Recreatfon Cen-
<br />ter in Hillsborough, the former gymnasium for Hills-
<br />borough High School, was built in 1957. While some
<br />upgrades have been accomplished, many more are
<br />on the horizon. Since this facility is a recreatfon locus
<br />in the town of Hillsborough, it may be worthwhile to
<br />examine possible joint Town/County ventures to
<br />invest in this facility.
<br />
<br />Most of the funds for park and recreatfon facility
<br />constructfon are projected for beyond 2018. Funding
<br />from grant sources and potentfal partners is
<br />expected, and this would substantfally lessen the
<br />County’s share of this funding. Public-private
<br />partnerships and sponsorships may also offer an op-
<br />portunity for leveraging private dollars to help
<br />enhance public facilitfes that meet interests of both
<br />the public and the private sector.
