ACTIVE RECREATION <br />DISTRIBUTION <br />While access to parks is critical for all <br />residents, a small green space with a bench <br />is not sufficient. It's just as important to have <br />access to active recreation opportunities that <br />support health and fitness. This can be more <br />challenging because of the amount of park <br />space needed to support sports fields, sports <br />courts, skate parks, gymnasiums, and other <br />active features. <br />Map 4-5 shows the distribution of existing <br />indoor and outdoor active recreation facilities <br />in Santa Ana. The City does a good job of <br />ensuring that active opportunities are dispersed <br />and available in most areas that have existing <br />parks. However, some neighborhoods lack <br />active recreation. <br />Key Findings and Needs <br />• There is a more equitable distribution of active <br />recreation facilities throughout the city than <br />major recreation facilities. <br />• The following Santa Ana parks provide options <br />for active recreation. <br />• 5 Citywide Parks out of 5 total <br />• 17 Community Parks out of 17 total <br />• 5 Neighborhood Parks out of 11 total <br />• 5 Joint -Use School Sites out of 8 total <br />• Primary needs include the repair and <br />replacement of existing sports fields and courts <br />to ensure that residents continue to have <br />access to nearby active recreation options <br />• The addition of multi -purpose and all-purpose <br />fields is also needed if large parks can be <br />acquired to do so. <br />• Secondary needs include improving support <br />amenities, such as shade, restrooms, drinking <br />fountains, moveable furniture, bleachers <br />or other seating, etc. that support active <br />recreation at these sites. <br />• Adding sports lighting would extend the use <br />and availability of recreation opportunities. <br />The Santa Ana Stadium is the only facility that <br />currently provides lighting, and it has limited <br />access to the public. <br />• The City currently provides several sports field <br />overlays (ball diamonds, soccer fields, and all- <br />purpose fields), meaning not all facilities noted <br />on the map are playable at the same time. <br />While overlays efficiently use limited park space, <br />they have been increasing problematic as "off- <br />season" sports play continues to expand. <br />• Ball diamonds, basketball courts, and tennis <br />courts are the most available/ offered active <br />recreation options in Santa Ana. However, <br />diverse communities may see a need for more <br />soccer fields, cricket fields, badminton, futsal <br />and pickleball courts. These types of sports <br />fields and courts are not easily accessible in <br />Santa Ana. <br />M�rriS�n <br />i+lamar .
