$EaviCE AREA BaSed on the Facility Inventory, Community Demographic Prafile, and
ArvA~ysis the current Boulder operational leveis, an analysis of exi5ting and
future park5 and recreat~on needs was generated in a GI5
(Geographic Information Syatems) environment T,~e ana~ysis
focuses on popwation5 served and spatial locations of the
community facilities with the highest re5ident partiapation ratea as
determined by the reeident survey. BaSed on the results of the
analysis, recommendationy for additionai park5 and recreation
facilitiey needed to 5erve the exi5ting and pro~ected populztion
need5 were deterrnined. The land acreage, facilities and location5 0`
new facilities are identified and mapped
USing data from the inventory, demographic analy5is, ytandards,
interview5 and benchmark analysis, current and future facility ana
program neede for the Gity were determined 7he analysi5 includes
information related to the type af program needs and the relatwe
ratio of service demand to population density in those areas The
information was compiled and u5ed to identify uneven di5tributione
m the service5 and programs provided. The dietribution analysis
utd~zea census tract/biock data, Survey data and geographic
mformation to determine the service area af each recreation facdity.
ModetiNG Several factor5 were con5idered when developmg modeling
PARAMETERS parameters. National Recreation and Parks A55ociation (NRPA)
gwdeline5 were used ae a 5tarting point and baseline against which
to compare Boulder's current operational levele The information
coliected from the benchmark analys;5, public participation procese
and the resident eurvey were then used to develop guideline5 or
modeling parameters 5pecific to Boulder for all park cla55ificat~on5
and recreation facilitie5 (see Table i)
Ten facihtiea were chosen based on the following selection crrtena
• They were expre5sed in both the focus group5 and public
workshops as havmg moderate to high demand,
• They were the higheat ranked result5 in the 5urvey for both
current partiapation rate5 and importance of potential new
or additional programs and facilities, and,
• Interview5 with StafF and program director5 confirmed all or
some of the ten faulitie5 choeen as having the highest
demand within the Parke & Recreation 5ystem,

The following assumptione were ueed ~n addition to the above
5election critena:
• All faci6ties lend themselvee to a geographic analysi5.
A(though there is conyiderabie amount of need expreesed for
ice akating facihtiey and cross-country skung track, they are
not conducive to a 61S analy5is because there are none of
them located within the city. Theee needs are addre~ed in
w~thin the polici~ and recommendatione section of the needs
asseysment;
• The modeling parameter5 for community gardene were
establi5hed after di5cu55ions with the co-execut~ve director,
Ramona Giark, of Growing Gardens. Based on the current
uee of the gardens and the mamtenance reqwred to take
care of them, the gwdeline5 respond to current participation
rates and predicted future use of the5e faalrtiea, and,
• The recommended size for parke wa5 chosen baeed on NRPA
gwdelines as the 5tarting point but were ad~usted bzsed on
other Southwest cities and 5peaal con5iderations in Bouider,
euch ae vehicular travel reduction, the exten~ve

category of C~ty Park
METI+odotoGy A"gap5 analy5ie" was used to identify areas not served by exi5ting
parks and recreation facdities, ay well as tho5e areae underservea
by few facihtiee with a high population of residenty Mode6ng
parameter ratios of population to taality were determined for each
of the facility type5. The GI5 model used the 2000 population
den5ity caiculated for each cenaus block, and determined a 5ervice
radw5 ba5ed on the underlying deneity by "capturing" the population

~ parameter for that particular facdity, for both the current
,.,, operationai level and the desired model~ng parameter or gwdeline
For example, if a park nad two basebail fields and the curre~t
"° operational level for baeeball fields was one field per 10,000 persone,
W then the model wouid create the 5ervice area distance baeed on
~ capturing 20,000 people. 5ubsec~uently, if the desired modeling
parameter for basebail wa5 6,000, then the eervice area would be
"" Smaller ae a re5ult of only capturing 12,000 peopie. The
,~, perforrnance aF the model is best within the city limits because of
the sharp decline in population deneity out5ide of the city. A5 a
~ re5ult, parks on the outskirt5 of town tend to hzve larger service
.. areas, as the eervice area would continue to grow untii it captured
~ the desired population.
"' Typicaily, service area radu are a pre-determined di5tance

FACI~iTY NEEdS The Needs AsaeSSment planning process util~zed aeveral
SUMiV14RY methodologies in developing the recommendation5 for proposed
recreation facilitie5 in Boulder These methodologie5 included over
twenty interviews with Sta~Ceholdere and community leadership,
three targeted focu5 groups, a community workshop, a benchmark
analysi5 of eix comparable citiee, a citrzen survey of 817 re5idents,
and a 615 service area analysiy af the exi5ting faciiitie5 and city
population
The foliowing matrix pre5ents an evaluation of the levei af support
for the faality from each ot the metnodologies used in the needs
assesement proceea Baeed on that level of Support, it identifies a
relative priority grouping of the fzcilitie5 baeed on the resulte of
the evaluation There was a slight weighting on the results of the
resident 5urvey and the GI5 5ervice area analysi5 eince these two
analy5e5 are stati5t~cally-rehable and quantifiabie,
It 5hould be noted that ail of these faalitiea were in~tially seiected
for thie evaluation because of their importance to the community
This matrix ~s an attempt to provide a relative sense of priority
among facilitie5 that have aiready been determined to have a need

q • Cro55-country Ski Trail ~'
Additional Need: 1, Recommended i ~
The need for a Cross-country 5ki trail was expre55ed in the focus
groups and the re5~dent 5urvey Croes-country 5kung recewed high ~
participation rate5 among adult5 (35%) and children (14%), and a '
cross-courrtry ski trad located in Valmont Park i5 supported b~ a ~
high proportion of residente (49%) There wa5 also a etrong
eentiment among residents (22%) who felt potentiaf or new cro55- ~'
country ski trad5 in parks a5 "very importarit" There is an actrve
cross-country 5kimg uyer group who annually provide tratls in city ~
parks.
• Dog Park ~
• Additional need 1 park; Recommended t park
The need for an adaitional dog park was demonstrated through the ~'
high partiapation rates of adults (41%) and youth (38%) who ~~
exercise a pet, the high use of the exi5ting dog parks and the 615
service area analysi5. Areas to exerase dogs ofF-leash had the +~
highe5t support (34%) of all additionai facihties. The site ~'
recommended for the new dog park, West of Justice Center, wa5 ~,
selected primarily becauae of ite location in an area of the city with , ~
high re5identiai den5itie5, thua most residencee wdl have Small or
no yard5. Thie srte could aleo alleviate an i55ue with the high ~~
occurrence of dogs iliegally off-lea5h at Eben Fine pzrk, who are ~
attracted to the creek environment
• Multru5e Fields ^
Additional Need 12 fields, Recommended. 9 fieide
Many of the actrvities accommodated on multru5e fields (soccer, ~
football, lacrosee, and Ultimate frisbee) have high participation
ratey by the residente (41% of the children engaged in eoccer and
footba(I, and 29% of adult5 participated m soccer and uitimate ~

Uitimate friebee ha5 also seen a eurge of interest in Boulder, being
the faete5t growing sport activity in the city, increa5ing from a 9%
participation level in 1996 to 17% in 2001. In the benchmark
analy5i5, eoccer fields in Boulder ranked fii-th on a per 1000
population when compared to the 5ix other citie5 W~th the GI5
analyeis identifymg 5igni~icant "gaps" m the 5ernce provieion within
the community, multruee flelde represent one of the highest unmet
needs in the community When combined with the use restrictions
on the nine fieids at Pieasant View, and the lack of swtable land
area5 in the city park5 or school5, it create5 an inabihty to meet
the future needs for the projected population. The need for 12
additional fields can oniy be partially met due to the lack of
developable Iand in areas where the service gapa exi5t.
• 6wimmmg pooi
Addit~onal Need. 1 pool; Recommended: 1 pool
The need for an additional pool was expreseed primarily through
focus group5 with the uyer groupe (MaSters 5wimming and Youth
swim teams) and frum the re5ident survey User group5 have
limited lanes and hours of avadability Swimming has one of the
highe5t participation rate5 among both aduits (48%) and chiidren
(75%). Yet even with the5e h~gh participation rate5, 5trong
support wa5 expressed for an additional facility ~n the 5urvey,
particularly for an indoor pool (33%). The 61S analysis identrfied a
yervice need for an additional pool location baeed on meeting the
modeling guidelines for pool5.
~,] Paioairy Gaoup • Center/gymna5wm
B Additional Need• t center; IZecommended: 1 center
~ From the community participatbn proce55, there is a clear need for
a new center to provide opportunities for act~vitie5 5uch as classes
and indoor activitie5. The highest mdication for new center space
~ was seen m the resident 5urvey result5 and the GIS sernce
analysi5 ReSidents have high participation rates in activitie5
~ involving centers Such as frtness and yoga cia55es, (29%) and
gymnastic5 for youth (24%). With regard to additional facilitiee,
24°!o thought that indoor weight tra~ning and an indoor running
L track (14%) would be considered very imporCant 7he GIS 5ernce

Additionai Need. 150 plot5, Recommended 150 piots
Although there are no estabiished guidelines for community gardens
a5 a recreazional activity, there i5 a high desire of residents for
additional garden plots from the 5urvey (25%) This combined with
the relative 5uccesa of the existing community garden actnntiee,
and the lack of adequate geographic distr~bution of gardens in the
city, prwide5 a strong ~uetification to expand thi5 activity in the
city,
• Ice 5kating Rink
Additional Need: t; Recommended. 1
The need for an ice ekating rink in the city was documented in the
focus groups, community meeting and the resident survey. There i5
a large and growing u5er group with no faality in the city to u5e,
and who are wiiling to partner with the city in developing the
facility Ice skat~ng recewed high partic~pation rates among both
adults (20%j and children (48%), and an ice 5kating rink wa5
considered "very important" as a new facility by 20% of the
residente.
• Softball Fields ~
Additional Need: 8 fielde; Recommended: 6 field5
Softball needs were identified through the user group5 in the focus "
group meetmg5, community workshop and the league5 registration "
data. Participation rates m the re5ident survey for 5oftball were ~,
moderate (9% for aduith and 8% for children), and a need was
expressed for additional field5 by 11% of the residents The Gf5 ~~
5ervice area analyyi5 identified eignificant gaps in eernce provieions • _
of softbali fields. With oniy ten city fields available, and five of ~
those, at 5tazio and Mapleton parke, limited to u5e only for games,
softbali fielde are well below the GI5 modeling gwdehne and a ~
yignificant deficiency ~i5ts in the community to meet practice and
programming needs The need for eight additional fie(de cannot be
met due to the hmitation of avadable developable acreage in areas ~
ident~fied with service gaps through the GIS analysiy.

FuNdiNG The Gity of Boulder's Parka and iZecreation Department primary
SoURCES fi~nding for new capital construction program5 are:
• The Permanent ParkS and Recreation Fund
Generate5 about $7.5 miilion annualiy. Includes property tax snd
park5 and recreat~on development fee5 Development or "impzct"
fees are expected to decline in the year5 to come ae the aty
approache5 buiid-out
• 0.25% Salea Tax Fund
Apprrned by voters in 1995 and to continue through 2015, the sales
tax fund generates about $6.0 miilion annually Currentiy, due to
the economic 5lowdown, 5ales tax revenue5 in the City have been
declining (down 11% through May 2002 compared to last year),
meaning future cuts for parks and recreation might be a po55ibility
(as with other Gty servicee).
• Lottery Fund
This funding Source from the Colorado State Lottery generates
about $800,000 annually and can be expected to continue.
• Bond 15sue5
If revenue5 or revenue producing facilities are created where ueer
fees are such that they pay o`f debt service, the iseuance of bonded
indebtedne55 can be a viable fundmg source for 5uch parks and
recreation facilitie5 At pre5ent, there are no ma~or faalitie5
available or planned to be bwlt that would permit additional bonding.
Bond i55uance reauires approvai by a vote of the citizens.
• Granty
A variety of special grants either currently exist through federal and
state governmental systeme or will be estabiiehed through the life
oF current and proposed faalitiee. E~amplea incfude the Community
Development Biock 6rant (CDBG), Historic PreServation Grants,
DiviSion of Wddlrfe for fi5hing, and Great Outdoors Colorado (60C0)
among other5.

general fund, user fees and charges, as well as salee taxes
Approx~mately 50% of the Department's general fund budget is
recovered from fees and charges, which is consistent with national
trend5 of 35% to 50% of operating expenditures. Feey and charge5
must be positioned to be market driven, ba5ed on both public ana
private facilities. Other funding 5ources/opportunitie5 to con5ider
for both new cap~tal construction program5, and operation and
maintenance, include the follownng
• Extending the 5alee Tax / Additionai Bonding Capacity
Resulte from the 2001 City of Boulder Parks and Recreation survey
mdicate very strong support for extending the exieting 0.25% sales
tax beyond 2015 in order to eupport additional bonding capacity for
parks and recreation faalities in Boulder (81% are somewhat or
5trongly aupportive) At the same time, only 41% agree that new
sale5 taxes 5hould be increased to fund more facilit~e5.
• Partnerships
Partnership5 are a ~oint devebpment funding 5ource or an ~
operational funding source between two separate agencies, euch as
two government entitie5, a non-profit and a city department, or a
private busine~ and a crty agency. Two partners Jointly develop ~
revenue-producing park and recreation facilitiee and share risk,
operational costa, reapon5ibditiea, and asset management baaed on ~
the strength5 and weaknesees of each partner. The City ha5 been
actively pur5wng several potential pub6c-pnvate partnerehipe for
facilities development at Valmont Gity Park, auch as with Boulder ~~
Nordic Club, Boulder Ice, Boulder Gommunity Loop, and Bouider ''
Community Velodrome. A5 partnersh~p5 will Iikely be a pnmary .,

activities, or i55ues They offer a variety of inean5 to fund new
capital con5truction pro~ecte, mcluding capital/campaigne, gift
catalogs, fundraiser5, endowment5, sale5 of iteme. etc
• Friend5 ASeociations
Similarly, theee groups are formed to raise money typically for a
single focus purpose that could include a park facility or program
that ~+nll better the community a5 a whole and their epecial intere5t
• 5pecial Fundrai5ers
Many parks and recreat~on agencie5 have special fundrai5ere on an
annual baei5 to help cover specific program coste and new capitai
con5truction pro~ects.
• Volunteerism
ThiS revenue 5ource is an ~ndirect revenue aource in that persons
donate time to a55iyt the department in providing a product or
eervice on an hourly bayie. This reduce5 the city'S co5t in providmg
the 5ernce, plus it bwlds advocacy mto the 5ystem.
• Cost Avoidance
The Department mu5t take the po5ition of not be~ng everytning for
everyone It must be driven by the market and stay withm the
Department'S core busine~e5. By 5hiftmg ~t5 role a5 a direct
provider, the Gty will expenence sav~ngs by deciding whether or not
to provide a part~cular facility or program. ThiS is cost avoidance.
5av~ngs can be realized through partnering, out5ourcing, or deferring
to another provider m the provi5ion of a service and/or faa(ity
• 5ponsorehipe
Thie is another area that might have potential, with 67% of eurvey
reeponaent5 agreeing that the Gity should pur5ue sponeorship of

reepondenth, 44%, would support aponsoryhips that would place
logos and advertieing at the site). Thie revenue-funding eource
allows corporat~ons and other organization5 to inveet in the
development or enhancement af new or exieting facilitiee in park
5ystem5. Sponsorehipe are also highiy recommended for program5
and events.
• Advertismg SaleS
Similarly, this revenue 5ource is for 5elfing tasteful and appropriate
adverti5ing on park5 and recreation related item5 such a5 in the
city's program guide, on ycoreboards, da5her boards, and other
vis~ble product5 or services to ~poee the product or service to
many people. Again, residents are only moderately supportive of

improvementa that benefit a Specific group of afFected properGes or ~
population in a certam geographic area 5pecia[ dietnct5 can be ''
organized for a smgle purpoge (eg., fire protection or 5anitation) or ~~
multiple purpoee5 (e g., a metropo6tan distr~ct which prov~des at ~
least two of ten municipaf 5ervicee such ae water, 5anitation, fire
protection, street improvement, park5 and recreation, etc) The idea
af creating one or more epecial district(s) surfaced in the focue ~
group diacus5ions with the sports group5 ano bu5iness feaaers as a
way to fund new park5 and recreation facilities ~n the Bouider region ~
Creation of a park5 and recreation diatrict could be designed to
cover a large geographic area, incorporating both the Gity of 6oulder

dietricts" or "improvement districts" that can be created varying in
size and scope and extent of authority or power to tax and
con5truct facilitie5. District5 can be organized m one county,
several countie5, one or more municipalitie5, or m both a county and
muniapality. The distnct may al5o consist of noncontiguous parceis
of property
Taxing di5trict5, a type of improvement d~strict, are generaliy
defined a5 financing entitie5 having the authority to impose property
taxee. These type5 of improvement di5trict5 are called Public
Improvement District5 (PIDs) in counties and 6eneral lmprovement
DiStrict5 (GIDe) ~n municipalitie5. These districte are created to
construct, install, acauire, operate, and maintain any service that
the county or mun~c~pality that forms the distnct is authorized to
provide. Taxing districts are separate political eubdivisions of the
state that have boards af d~rector5, although these are the county
or mun~cipal governing board5 5erving ex officio The dietncte have
perpetual ewstence and have the power to levy ad valorem taxes,
and to fix ratee, tolle, and charges to pay tor services, faalitie5,
and indebtedness. 7hey may errter irrto IGA'e and is5ue general
obligat~on bond5 and revenue bonda. The "a55easment" type of
improvement di5tricts are called 5pecial Improvement Districts
(51Ds) m municipahties and Locai Improvement Districts (LIDs) in
counties These di5tricts have lees independence and exist only as
geographic areas within which improvements are con5tructed and ae
admm~strative subdivisione of a county or muniapalrty They have
no board of directors and the county or muniupal governing body
make5 all decisions on behalf of the admini5trative entity. These

population5 greater than 100,000 can impose a sales tax of not
more than one-half of one percent, if approved at election (thi5
eales tax is not sub~ect to the 791% total saies tax limit)
• Buddmg Authority / Certificatee of Participation (COPS)
A building authority acth "on behaif of' a governmental entity, which
normally ratifie5 the directors of the authority and approvee the

to receive revenuee paid by the lessee (a government) to the
lessor/vendor. COPS, compared to other lease-purcha5ee, are for a
large dollar amount, with a longer term and are ueuaily rated by
bond rating agencies
• Annual Appropriation / Leaeehold Finanang
7hi5 is a comp(ex financing structure which reawre5 u5e of a third
party to act as issuer of the bonds, con5truct the tacility and
retain title until the bonds are retired the aty enters into a leaee
agreement with the third party, with annual Iease payments eauai to
the debt service req,uiremente The bonda i55ued by the third party
are con5idered lea5 5ecure than general obligation bonae of tne aty,
and therefore, more costly Since a Separate corporation is5ues
these bonds, they do not impact the aty's debt limrtation5 and ao
not rectuire a vote. Nowever, they also do not entitle the city to ievy
property taxee to 5ervice the debt The annual Iease payment5
mu5t be appropriated from existing revenuea.

City of Boulder Parks and Recreation Needs Assessme~t
Public Open House Summary
East Boulder Commurnty Center
January 24'", 2002
Introduction
As part of the public input process for the City of Boulder Parks and Recreation Needs Assessment a
public open house was held at the East Boulder Community Center on January 24'", 2002 The public
open house was extensively advertised wa
• tag lines on City of Boulder Parks & Recreation winter program registration receipts (all
those who registered for a program/class received information)
• fliers at the City of Boulders recreation centers
• tag line on City of Boulder Parks and Recreahon website
• adverUsement m two consecutive Sunday Camera newspaper
• invitafion mailings to persons/organizations involved in the Valmont Public Participation
process
• wntten and verbai mvitaUons to those who participated in the focus group meetings (totai of
3 meetings)
The Public Open House was structured to allow persons to come and go between 5 00 p m to 9 00
p m There were no structured presentations This open house format prowdes greater one-on-one
and smaller group discussions to occur at a more casual, less formal atmosphere
The Open House format consisted of five (5) independent stations with maps and/or exhibits plus a large
notepad to record comments, issues, and discussions The five stations were
• Parks,
• Programs/Activi4es,
• Recreation Centers/Faalities,
• Poliaes/Funding
• Valmont Park
Attendees could go to any stat~on(s) of mterest. Consultants and staff were available at each station to
record or discuss issues, constraints and/or opporturnties Thirty-suc (36) people attended the public
workshop The followmg is a summary of recorded comments first as recorded verbatim The
comments are followed by a table organvang comments into three basic categones
• strengths/weaknesses in which the Dept can mtemally develop strategieshmplementation
actions to change the situation,
• opportuniUes/constraints affecting the Parks and Recreat~on Dept, but they may have lesser
degrees of potentially hawng an immediate impact and
• general comments
Summary
Overall, attendees were vocal about what they would like to see Parks and Recreation Dept develop or
improve in their current faalities These included
Page 1 of~~
• developmg more multi-use fields (for practice soccer, softball, little league, adult leagues),
• improving the conditions of current fields,
• develop some sort of eqwtable fee structure for use of fields
• prowde more arts & crafts facdities (i e, painting, pottery, pertormance)
• integrate, and also retro-fit, current faalities to accommodate wheelchair accessibility
There were positive comments about the current East Boulder faality, the vanous programs currently in
place and the potential opportunrties yet to be deveioped for Area III
Elements not enUrely within the purview of Parks and Recreation, but definitely within their long-range
pianrnng, mcluded positive comments regarding
• creat~ng pubiic/private partnerships to develop new faalit~es,
• fundmg opportunities,
• revenue produang ventures (i e, mcrease golf faalities, bicycle rentals, food concessions)
• integration of regional recreation (and open space) policies to develop community-wide
recreat~onal opportunities
The generat theme amongst the attendees appeared to be (1) eqwtable treatment (i e, fees, condidon of
fields, program management, matching user demand with facdity development), (2) accessibdity (i e, all
income levels, physically handicapped, all forms of recreaUon, arts & crafts), (3) consistent follow-
through with long-range plannmg
