<br /> A . Ensuring Recreation Needs Are Met
<br /> In Section II of this -document , recreation needs have been identified for each
<br /> of the jurisdictions within Orange County , using previous works and new
<br /> assessments . While there are some differences between the jurisdictions , in
<br /> general the needs fall into the following major categories :
<br /> • Acquisition of lands for long -term park use (" land - banking ") ;
<br /> • School / park • combinations ;
<br /> • Acquisition of open space and natural areas for low - impact . recreation ;
<br /> • Acquisition and development of greenways , trails , and linear parks ;
<br /> • Active recreation facilities and/ or gymnasiums
<br /> • Larger community/ district parks with a mixture of activities
<br /> • Neighborhood - scale parks
<br /> - If coordinated capitalfunding and long - term land acquisition is pursued , a
<br /> flexible process must be developed that would allow for revisions as well , as
<br /> the introduction of new priorities with a timetable that ranks needs and
<br /> establishes a reasonable timeframe to assure the communities ' recreational
<br /> needs are being met . A model along the lines of the NCDOT seven - year
<br /> Transportation Improvement Program (TIP ) might be a starting point . .
<br /> A multi jurisdictional - committee charged . with evaluating needs , funding
<br /> availability and long - term plans could . undertake the development of this
<br /> mechanism .
<br /> B . Greenways in Urban Areas and Wildlife Corridors
<br /> in Rural Areas
<br /> One of the most prominent needs identified in both urban and rural areas are
<br /> the need to preserve green corridors . ' These corridors 4 serve a variety of
<br /> recreation needs , while preserving visual and natural resources . In rural
<br /> areas , the need for wildlife corridors has been documented - areas that serve
<br /> as connectors • between watersheds along streamways and4 ridges . Inside the .
<br /> Towns , paved or gravel trails along utility easements and - streamways have
<br /> been and continue to be a high priority . such as the much - used Bolin Creek
<br /> Greenway in Chapel Hill . Other types of corridors merge these two concepts , .
<br /> serving as a combination of the wtwo ( such as Eno River State Park" and . the
<br /> planned Riverwalk in Hillsborough/Orange County ) .
