It divides all acreage by classification and park type to show the type of acreage that is needed and potentially feasible. The table factors in existing park acres to show the existing LOS, which is compared to the guideline needed to support acquisitions in the key areas noted. Table 5-2 summarizes proposed service levels and needs by classification only.
