It . was necessary to have an accurate picture of who is providing for the recreation needs of the citizenry , whether through public , quasi - public , or private means . Once the needs and resources were identified , standards for future park and recreation provisions were - discussed . A . Inventory of Resources One subcommittee of the Work Group was formed to create an inventory of the current recreation resources and parks within the County ( see Appendix - C ) . The Resource Subcommittee developed categories for the inventory and decided it was important to address resources within all sectors of our community . Thus , the inventory was split into lists for private , public , and quasi - public . Private consists primarily of apartment complexes , neighborhood clubs , and larger, specialized clubs ( e . g . tennis club , country club ) . However, locations such as Duke Forest are also listed as private since they are privately owned with primary missions other than recreation . Public resources identified were parks , trails , community centers , and other locales open to and funded by the public . Quasi-public entities include community centers and Runtan clubs usually open to the public with additional contact required , UNC facilities selectively opened to the public , and government- owned facilities , such as Cane Creek Reservoir, which allows recreation while maintaining the primary mission , of water supply protection . . Once the list was . divided , the categories were modified to more accurately reflect specific resources in each ownership grouping . For example , the quasi - public list may include a category inventorying whether the facilities . require additional contact before use , while this issue would infrequently apply to public sector recreation facilities and parks . The information for the inventory was gained through several avenues . . The . Work Group and staffs personal knowledge of resources in the area , inventories recently completed by participating municipalities ; and information from area apartment associations and complexes were all used in. . development of the document . The. roster of apartments is that of complexes listed in Orange County tax ' records . Thus , . this is not a complete . listing � of all • complexes in the county or municipalities , B . Needs Identified for County and Municipalities . The Needs Assessment Subcommittee was formed in order to more accurately identify specific needs of facilities throughout . each jurisdiction . 4
