Level of Service Analysis

• LOS includes the geographic distribution of park facilities as well as a

quantification of park types and facilities that help meet current population based park standards set in the General Plan.

• Many agencies use a ½ mile to a mile circle to define the service area
• f parks. However, no one walks, bikes or drives as the crow flies.

Current methods use GIS to calculate walking and driving distances based on existing circulation networks and barriers.

• A general goal should be to support healthy lifestyles and sustainable

transportation by analyzing a 15 minute walk time to neighborhood parks.

• Convenience to parks can also be assessed based on a 5 minute drive

to parks.
