How Many People
Planning for Recreation & Parks• We all have our mantras – “County of
Choice”, “Premier”, “Place to Live, Work, and Play”, etc…
• Quality of life dictates mantras. • Many quality of life services are provided
through parks and recreation & school programs.
• That quality of life is up to our governmental agencies to provide.

Planning for Recreation & Parks
• Prioritize our services– Needs and Public Input
• Quantify Priorities
• Short Term Vs. Long Term
Planning for Recreation & Parks• Implement Priorities. • Remember Polk Vision – We don’t want to be a
bedroom community. We want to offer a sense of place.
• Look at the way that you conduct business. It is ok to try something new. Really – it is.
Planning for Recreation & Parks Implement
• CIP• Cost Recovery• Financing• Alternative sites/providers• School Sites
Execute• Instead of continuing to ask why we can’t, let’s
start to ask how can we make it happen.
Planning for Recreation & Parks Case Study
• County Road 653 Area of Winter Haven• Until the last five years, it was a sleepy area.• With the school and recent development, has become
very populated. • Approximately 2000 units today.• Possibility of at least another 1000 units that have been
platted.• Potential for even more with zoning and land use
approvals.
