NATIONAL RECREATION AND PARK ASSOCIATION CN.R.PJU - The N.R.P.A. has
developed standards and guidelines (Attachment 2) for recreation parks and open space.
These standards have generally been the most widely accepted and useable standards of
this type, especially by local government.
Typically, when a City does not have their own adopted standard for Parks and Recreation
facilities and amenities, the agency refers to the national guidelines, their own community
needs analysis, demographics, and what can be judged as realistic and attainable. Carlsbad
is no exception.

OCEANSIDE
The City of Oceanside shall assist in the coordinated planning, development, and
maintenance of unique regional amenities within and adjacent to the community. These
amenities include: Guajome Regional Park; the Oceanside Public Beach Area; the proposed
greenway and bikeway along the San Luis Rey Corridor; and the Buena Vista Lagoon. This
regional recreational and open space amenity system shall be planned, developed, and
implemented in coordination with the existing system of parks throughout the City of
Oceanside.
The City of Oceanside shall combine its park designation categories of Neighborhood,
Community, and Special Use Parks into a single "Community Park" designation and shall
strive to provide 5.0 acres of developed "Community Parks" per 1,000 residents within the
City.
Note: The City of Oceanside utilizes the N.R.P.A. guidelines for park facilities and open
space standards.
ENCINITAS
Park Standard: * 2.5 - 3.0 ac/1,000
Facility Standards: Refer to Table 7 (Attachment 3)
Hiking/Equestrian Trails: No Standard
*The City of Encinitas refers to the N.R.P.A. guidelines for parks, facilities, and open space
standards.
Assessment of Trails (Encinitas')
The N.R.P.A. does not provide any specific standards regarding trail uses reserved for
bicycles, joggers/hikers, or equestrians. The development of a Citywide trail system will
be a focus of the Recreation Element given the public interest expressed regarding the
development of such a system. Informal observations also indicate that a large number of
persons presently jogging in areas not specifically designed for these activities might use
such a system once it is in place.
A number of private organizations have expressed interest in establishing a Citywide system
of hiking and equestrian trails. One of these proposals, prepared by the San Dieguito
Riders, proposes a system of equestrian and hiking trails that would provide continuous
links throughout Olivenhain, New Encinitas, and Cardiff-by-the-Sea. The proposed trails
plan makes use of exiting trail links as well as unimproved areas that have been designated
by the County as future trails. At the present time, the City does not administer or
maintain any trails.
SAN DIEGO
For each 25,000 people living in a planned development, the following park standard is
applied.
4 neighborhood parks 5 ac if adjacent to an elementary school
10 ac if not adjacent to a school
1 community park 13 ac if adjacent to a junior high
20 ac if not adjacent to a school

Summary of Cities Surveyed
1. All cities have a park standard
2. Only Carlsbad and Vista have an adopted activity/facility standard.
3. Only Carlsbad utilizes a department general facility guideline for park planning
purposes.
4. All cities refer to the N.R.P.A. standards for suggested park and open space
guidelines.
5. None of the surveyed cities have a trail standard.
6. San Marcos and Poway are the only cities to have trail master plan.
It should be noted that while discussing standards as they relate to parks, open space, and
facilities with the various city officials, it was concluded that the development of standards
depend on the following criteria:
1. Uniqueness of each community and their needs.
2. Geographical differences.
3. Climate.
4. Cultural.
5. Socioeconomic characteristics.
6. What can be realistically attainable.
7. Economics (acquisition, development, and maintenance costs)
8. Availability of natural resources within the community.

This classification system is intended to serve as a ffu/cte to planning—not as an absolute blue-
print. Sometimes more than one component may occur within the same site (but not on the same parcel
of land), particularly with respect to special uses within a regional park. Planners of park and recreation
systems should be careful to provide adequate land for each functional component when this occurs.
NRPA suggests that a park system, at a minimum, be composed of a "core" system of park lands, with
a total of 6.25 to 10.5 acres of developed open space per 1,000 population. The size and amount of
"adjunct" parklands will vary from community to community, but must be taken into account when con-
sidering a total, well-rounded system of parks and recreation areas.
