Both of these developments are <br /> discussed to be in significant excess of 300 homes each and these residents will seek recreational <br /> opportunities in the immediate Hillsborough area. <br /> At this time more and more subdivisions are being developed . This means the demand for parks and- <br /> recreation facilities are also increasing . As the county becomes more urbanized and our population <br /> continues to grow, and land becomes more scarce and expensive , demands for recreational facilities <br /> and services become more difficult to meet . However the demand is there for .us to create and <br /> expand our active park facilities . We have tried to meet this need by developing small town lots into <br /> passive community parks . This is not enough , nor the answer to our problem . Our contribution to <br /> this point is as follows . <br /> The Town is also involved in the following efforts to provide recreational opportunities to its <br /> citizens : <br /> Occoneechee Mountain .Park - state grant to construct parkin] area, trail and overlook to officially <br /> open the park. Agreement pending with the state park system to assume patrol and maintenance of <br /> this facility . <br /> 101 East Orarzae Street P . O . Box 429 + Hillsborough , North Carolina 27278 <br />
