statewide recreational participation and needs. The 2013-2017 SCORP indicates that the two recreational activities with the highest participation rates, as a percentage of the state population , were 'walking on local streets/sidewalks' and 'walking on local trails/paths' (see Figure 3-1). The SCORP data also indicates that recreational participation rates in the category of 'walking for pleasure' have steadily trended upward over the past three decades, with participation rates up by 32 percent in this category since 1982 when data was first collected .

Survey participants were also asked to rate the importance of county-level funding need for a variety of recreation projects in their jurisdiction in the coming five years {1 = lowest priority need to 5 = highest level of need). The Lane County data is listed in Figure 3-2 and indicates a strong need for additional recreational trails in our area .
