Exhibit 1
<br />• Open Space: Recreational and green spaces,
<br />including parks, commercial open space,
<br />manicured landscaped areas, and public
<br />facilities such as trail corridors, water channels,
<br />and rail infrastructure.
<br />• Overlay: Overlay is a term used to describe
<br />athletic facilities where part of one sport field
<br />lays over part of a second sports field, so that
<br />the two cannot support games at the same
<br />time. Typically, these are fields of different types
<br />that have different primary playing seasons,
<br />e.g., a youth soccer field over a softball
<br />outfield, or a cricket field over the end of a
<br />soccer field. To be counted as two fields, both
<br />fields must meet individual field requirements.
<br />• Park and Parkland: Publicly accessible
<br />sites and green space that are owned and/
<br />or managed to support recreation and social
<br />gathering. Parks owned by the City of Santa
<br />Ana are collectively called City parkland.
<br />• Park Deficient Area: Typically, an area of
<br />the community that is outside the standard
<br />public parkland service radius such as'/z
<br />mile for Community Parks and mile for
<br />Neighborhood Parks, respectively. This term
<br />may also be used more broadly to describe
<br />an area where parks are deficient in one or
<br />more ways, such as being too small or in poor
<br />condition, having insufficient acreage or no
<br />park acreage, or having land not developable
<br />for recreation uses.
<br />• Park Resources: This park classification includes
<br />City parkland managed by other entities for non -
<br />park use as defined through long-term leases
<br />or agreements with PRCSA. Examples include
<br />sites operated by Santa Ana Unified School
<br />District (School District) and the Santa Ana Police
<br />Department (SAPD). Depending on the terms
<br />of the joint use agreement, these sites are not
<br />accessible to the general public.
<br />• Pocket Parks: This park classification includes
<br />small sites, typically less than 1 acre, which
<br />provide greenspace, passive social space, and
<br />in some cases a small-scale recreation feature.
<br />• Practice Fields: Practice fields are fields that
<br />are not game quality and do not support
<br />regulation league play. They may be deficient
<br />in size, shape, condition, amenities, etc., but
<br />still suitable for use as practice space.
<br />1►
<br />• Regulation Fields: Regulation fields are
<br />a standardized fields in (in terms of size,
<br />condition and amenities) suitable for league
<br />play. These may be youth regulation or adult
<br />regulation -sized fields.
<br />• Soccer Fields: Soccer fields can vary in
<br />dimension according to the intended age group.
<br />However, in order to support regulation play, a
<br />soccer field must be at least 50 yards x 80 yards
<br />for youth and 60-75 yards x 110-120 yards for
<br />adults. Portable goals may be used. Fields must
<br />be level without holes or mounds. Soccer fields
<br />may be used for other sports, such as ultimate
<br />Frisbee or football.
<br />• Softball Fields: Softball fields must have a
<br />backstop and a skinned infield, as well as
<br />dugouts or player benches. Outfield and
<br />baseline dimensions vary with intended use.
<br />An outfield fence is not required, but fields
<br />must be level without holes or mounds.
<br />• Specialized Facilities: Some facilities have
<br />a singular function or use that may require
<br />specialized maintenance or operations,
<br />although these may not require as extensive
<br />resources as a Major Facility. Examples include
<br />concession stands, formal gardens, and stages.
<br />• Special Use Facilities: This park classification
<br />includes sites that support stand-alone major
<br />recreation facilities not located within a larger
<br />park. These facilities are typically fee -based
<br />and only open when programmed or reserved
<br />for use. Their hours of operation and public
<br />use are limited. Examples include the Santa
<br />Ana Zoo, stadium and tennis centers.
<br />• Synthetic/Artificial Turf Fields: Synthetic/
<br />artificial turf fields have a non -natural, artificial
<br />surfacing. Sports fields of various types may
<br />have artificial surfacing. Unlike grass fields,
<br />these are playable year-round and do not
<br />require field rest.
<br />T
<br />• Temporary Programming Spaces: Some
<br />spaces may be identified to support temporary
<br />and/or pop-up activities and community
<br />events. Examples may include neighborhood
<br />streets or parking lots for schools, businesses
<br />and public buildings. These temporary spaces
<br />do not count as parks or as recreation facilities.
<br />• Trail Corridors: This classification describes
<br />linear corridors with Class I trails that support
<br />non -motorized transportation, recreation,
<br />and bicycle and pedestrian access to parks.
<br />These may be located in street ROWS, flood
<br />control channels, or lands owned by other
<br />entities.
<br />• Trails: Considered a facility, trails can be soft -
<br />or hard -surfaced linear paths intended for
<br />recreation and active transportation. Trails in
<br />Santa Ana consist of both on- and off-street
<br />multi -use trails, including off-street (Class 1)
<br />bike paths.
<br />i
<br />• Undeveloped Parkland: This park
<br />classification includes unimproved City -
<br />owned properties being held for future park
<br />development and recreation use. Sites may
<br />not allow current park access.
<br />• Unserved Area (Also Called a Park
<br />Gap): Residential areas that fall beyond a
<br />10-minute walk (1/2-mile access) to City and
<br />Community Parks, and a 5-minute walk (1/4-
<br />mile access) to Neighborhood Parks and all
<br />similar small parks.
<br />• Urban Plazas: This park classification
<br />includes small parks with hardscape and
<br />greenspace that provide social gathering
<br />opportunities in urban and commercial areas.
