A variety of amenities, trails and recreation facilities are contributed by these organizations: ?(bullet list) Revised to: Parks, Open Space and Facility Inventory A key component to the Community Needs Assessment involved a thorough inventory of existing parks, open space, and facilities. This inventory is included in Appendix B. The City of Eugene provides the majority of parks, facilities, and programs within the planning area. However, city residents also benefit from parks and facilities owned or managed by other public agencies within the region. A variety of amenities, trails, and recreation facilities are contributed by these organizations: University of Oregon (UO) ? Eugene Water & Electric Board (EWEB) ? Lane County Parks ? Lane County Fairgrounds ? River Road Park and Recreation District (RRPRD) ? Eugene School District 4J ? Bethel School District 52 ? Willamalane Park & Recreation District ? Bureau of Land Management (BLM) ? There are numerous agencies and private entities, such as golf courses and fitness clubs, which provide recreation opportunities to Eugene residents. Although these providers are part of a system which contributes to the parks, recreation and open space services of the area, only lands which are actually owned by the City of Eugene are included in the PROS Comprehensive Plan inventory. However, many of these lands not owned by the city are identified on the accompanying resource maps. The City owns and manages multiple facilities which are located on school district properties. These facilities include athletic fields, children’s play areas, skateparks, and tennis courts. These facilities are counted in the inventory of existing park and recreation facilities. However, the land which they are constructed on is not owned by the City of Eugene, and is therefore not included in the inventory. Planning Commission Recommendation #6 and #7.
