Water Feature
Flint maintains a wide variety of parks and recreation facilities. They vary in terms of size, services, facilities provided, and relationship to surrounding land uses. The Michigan Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) uses a hierarchy of park classifications to create a structure for assessing facilities and services.
It is recommended that the City classify its facilities according to the MDNR model. This will allow for an “apples-to-apples” comparison for the MDNR, National Recreation and Park Association, and other organizations who use this system, to recommend based on their classifications.
Once classified, the program for
individual parks should be tailored to its surrounding land uses and place typologies as identified in the Land Use Plan.
