PARKS, RECREATION & COMMUNITY SERVICES NEEDS ASSESSMENT | 43 <br />Redwood City continues to be methodical <br />and resourceful in meeting its growing <br />need for parkland, recreation programs <br />and services. The City has made <br />substantial progress implementing the <br />recommendations of the 2008 Parks <br />and Recreation Needs Assessment. This <br />current Needs Assessment calls out the <br />need for additional parklands, especially in <br />underserved locations and added amenities <br />for existing parks. In the current economic <br />climate, with limited land availability, <br />competition between potential uses and <br />high acquisition costs, it will be challenging <br />and costly for the City to keep up with <br />growing demands. <br />Despite these obstacles, the City will be <br />able to draw upon proven processes and <br />partnerships to assemble and leverage the <br />resources needed to meet these needs. These <br />processes and partnerships include: <br />• Park Impact Fees <br />• Working with Developers <br />• Parklets <br />• Parking Lot and Street Conversions <br />• Expanded Roles for the Redwood City Parks <br />and Arts Foundation <br />• Public-Private Partnerships <br />• Grants <br />FUNDING AND RESOURCES <br />F UNDING <br />7.A. - Page 61 of 66 <br />173
