Executive Summary
Section One INTRODUCTION
The primary purpose of this report is to provide a community -based description of parks,
recreation facilities, and recreation program issues, needs, and realistic
recommendations. This report is intended to be an implementation tool of the City of La
Quinta General Plan, providing a guide for the orderly development and/or management
of recreation facilities and programs for the City.
La Quinta is a dynamic, interesting, unique community. Its physical characteristics,
demographic features, and urban context generate issues and opportunities that the
City and its citizens recognize, embrace and celebrate. This report is reflective of the
philosophy that recreation facilities, programs, and open space are important aspects of
La Quinta, enhancing the physical and mental health of its citizens, enriching their lives,
and addressing issues particular to La Quinta.
It is intended that this report be a flexible document, presenting findings, which are
evaluated, validated, and/or modified periodically as the City responds to unforeseen
opportunities and constraints. Periodic updates of the Master Plan are anticipated at
approximately five to seven-year intervals.
1.1 HISTORY/SETTING
Located in the Coachella Valley in Riverside County, La Quinta is bordered by the cities
of Indian Wells and Indio and by unincorporated areas (see Location Map, Exhibit 1.1-
1,). The Santa Rosa and Coral Reef Mountains allow for a picturesque backdrop to the
city's 33.75 square miles, most of which are undeveloped.
La Quinta was incorporated in 1982. The City's General Plan identifies several factors
which contribute to the unique, desirable quality of life in La Quinta, including its
environmental setting near the mountains, its resort image, the City's low -density
residential character, and cultural diversity.
Much of La Quinta is undeveloped due significantly to large open space components to
the south and west and to also due to the fact that many areas in the south and east
have not yet been developed (see Community Context, Exhibit 1.1-2). The task of the
Master Plan is to address recreation needs in both established areas and future areas.

1.2 RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER PLANS AND ACTS
La Quinta General Plan 1992. Each City in California is required by State law to adopt
a comprehensive, long-term general plan for its own physical development. Adopted in
1992, the General Plan for La Quinta includes mandatory elements pertaining to land
use, circulation, housing, conservation, parks and recreation, open space,
infrastructure, environmental hazards, and air quality. The Recreation and Parks
Master Plan is a planning tool, which provides a coordinated program of recreational
facility development and management carrying out the goals and policies of the General
Plan. California state law requires that the day-to-day decisions of a city should follow
logically from and be consistent with the General Plan. The General Plan establishes
an overall goal of 3 acres per 1,000 residents for the provision of neighborhood park
and community park area in the City. The City adopted the General Plan update in
March, 2002.
Annual Budget. Every year, the City establishes a budget that serves as an operational
guide in the management and control of fiscal resources and presents a financial plan
for the fiscal period that describes projected expenditures and revenues. Each year,
Staff and Council will consider facility and program recommendations as capital
improvement projects are scheduled and funded and maintenance and operations
budgets are developed.
The budget is the nexus between the issues/project opportunities and implementation.
The City Council is not generally constrained by law to implement or address findings of
the Master Plan.
The Parks and Recreation Department was formed in 1995 and was responsible for
planning and implementing recreation programs for the City's residents. In 1996, the
operation of the La Quinta Senior Center was transferred from the City Clerk's office to
the Parks and Recreation Department.
In 1997, the name of the Parks and Recreation Department was changed to the
Community Services Department and additional responsibilities were added to the
Department, such as the Art in Public Places program, Cultural Arts Commission,
various special projects and community projects.
The following table provides the annual expenditure of funds by the Community
Services Department including the La Quinta Senior Center:

Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a
civil rights law which is intended to eliminate discrimination against people with
disabilities. Included in this law are provisions governing employment, communication,
transportation, services, and physical accessibility. Existing recreation facilities, new
facilities, and recreation services are affected. The City has met and continues to
exceed the requirements of the law.
1.3 APPROACH AND METHODOLOGY
The unique physical and demographic character of La Quinta dictates a needs
assessment approach that allows for significant, meaningful community input.
The needs assessment effort was effectively divided into separate phases and tasks.
As part of the Master Plan process, existing facilities and programs were inventoried
and documented. A demographic profile was developed and evaluated. Various tools
for community input such as demand analysis and public workshops were implemented.
The last phase summarizes findings and issues and provides descriptions of general
opportunities to address those issues.
Community Analysis
Community Analysis identifies and describes existing aspects of the La Quinta
community which affect recreation programming and planning. Understanding existing
1-5
Introduction
conditions in the community is an essential first step in a project that includes
identification and quantification of facility and program needs and concludes with
realistic recommendations. An inventory of existing facilities and programs was
achieved through site visits, document searches, and community input. Demographic
trends for the community were analyzed as they related to recreation needs.
Community analysis is discussed in Section Two of this report.
Needs Assessment
Needs Assessment identifies recreational needs within the community and determines
the relative priority of each identified need. Needs assessment was driven by four
sources of information: 1.) community input generated during a public workshop; 2.)
demand analysis based on participation rates in similar communities 3.) service area
analysis, 4.) Staff input. Results from these sources were combined with information
gathered during the Community Analysis Phase of the Master Plan effort, giving rise to
a community -specific demand/need analysis. The needs assessment portion of the
effort describes current recreation needs and assumes that future needs will be similar
based on similar overall population characteristics. Needs assessment details are
outlined in Section Three of this report.
Facility Recommendations
The facility recommendations summarize recommendations with respect to existing
parks, proposed parks, unimproved parkland, and joint use opportunities.
Recommendations are intended to address the recreation needs identified in the needs
assessment section and are the result of analysis of existing inventory, analysis of
demand, community input, and consideration of established goals and policies.
1-6
Introduction
Section Two COMMUNITY ANALYSIS
The purpose of this section is to identify and describe existing aspects of the La Quinta
community which affect recreation programming and planning.
2.1 EXISTING RECREATION FACILITIES
This portion of the Master Plan describes existing recreation facilities in and around La
Quinta including City parks, adjacent recreation facilities, and public schools. Together,
the many facilities available constitute a park system in which a variety of passive and
active recreation experiences are possible.
Unusual as compared to most communities is the prevalence of private and semi-
private golf facilities throughout the community. These facilities play an important
recreation role in La Quinta, serving large numbers of member residents and visitors.
These are generally not open to non-members. Private golf facilities, and private
recreation facilities in general, are not addressed in this master plan which pertains to
provision of public facilities.
Park Types
The City's General Plan describes four types of park facilities — Mini -Parks,
Neighborhood Parks, Community Parks, and Regional Parks — and provides
descriptions as paraphrased below and utilized in the service area analysis of the next
section.
Mini -Parks. Mini parks generally comprise less than one acre and are intended to
complement adjacent areas. They may take the form of children's play areas, seating
and picnic areas and open space. Mini parks are often located within residential areas
and, for planning purposes and purposes of General Plan consistency, are assumed to
serve an area described by a .5 mile radius circle. Use of a .5 miles radius infers a goal
of providing a park within walking distance of most residences.
Neighborhood Parks. Neighborhood parks generally range from 2 to 10 acres in size
and may contain picnic areas, passive and/or active recreation elements such as
children's play areas, sports fields, and sports courts. Neighborhood parks typically
serve an area described by a .5 mile radius.
Community Parks. Community parks are generally larger than neighborhood parks,
ranging in size from 10 acres to 30 acres and containing passive and/or active
recreation elements such as children's play areas, restroom/concession building, indoor
recreation areas, parking lot, lighted sports fields, and sports courts which serve a wider
range of recreational interests. Community parks are assumed to serve areas
described by 1.0 mile radius circles and may also serve as neighborhood park facilities
for residential areas nearby.
2-1
Community Analysis
Regional Parks. Lake Cahuilla County Regional Park is the one regional park facility in
La Quinta. Regional Parks are generally greater than 30 acres in size and can provide
active and/or passive recreational opportunities for a large surrounding area. Regional
parks typically contain play areas, multiple lighted sports fields, recreation buildings,
parking lots, a natural environmental element as well as many other amenities to fulfill
the recreational needs of a community.
Existing City Recreation Facilities
Park facilities in La Quinta are for the most part well -used busy centers of activity, even
during the week. Parks are meeting places for the community, especially Fritz Burns
Park and La Quinta Sports Complex. Existing facilities are generally clustered in
residential areas of the City. The last five years have been highlighted by ambitious,
active park development and renovation projects and several facilities are quite new or
are under construction.
There are fourteen (14) City -operated recreation facilities in La Quinta (see Existing City
Recreation Facilities, Exhibit 2.1-1). A brief description of City -operated facilities
follows.
Adams Park. Adams Park is a newer 3.25 acre facility with passive recreation elements
such as picnic tables, children's play area, walking trail, and open turf play. Also
available is a unique water spray feature.
Bear Creek Trail. A paved trail and shaded rest areas with drinking fountains, benches
and bicycle racks make for pleasant walking, running, and cycling along scenic Bear
Creek.
Civic Center Campus. Under construction is a significant plan to link City Hall and the
Senior Center with a passive, yet urban, park facility that will enhance and enliven the
area. Included is a lake with an island and gazebo, open turf area, par course,
amphitheater, several public art pieces and walkways.
La Quinta Community Park. Currently under construction, the Community Park will be
the City's largest park at just over 18 acres and will provide lighted soccer fields,
baseball fields, shade structures, a basketball court, restroom/concession stand,
walking path, par course, large children's play area, water feature, public art and
eventually a skate park.
Cove Oasis/Lake Cahuilla Tradhead. A gateway to significant natural open space, this
facility provides parking, drinking fountain, interpretative signs and natural picnic area
for visitors and links the Bear Creek Trail to trails in the Santa Rosa Mountains and
ultimately to Lake Cahuilla.
2-2
Community Analysis
Desert Club Manor Park. Desert Club Manor Park is a small, attractive facility with a
childrens' play area and open turf.
Desert Pride Park. Set within a residential neighborhood, visitors enjoy the childrens'
play area, open turf, and desert vegetation in this 3 acre facility
Eisenhower Park. The City's oldest park, built in 1989, has recently been expanded
and renovated to include a childrens' play area and open turf.
Fritz Burns Park. Located near the center of La Quinta, Fritz Burns Park offers a variety
of recreational opportunities, including a swimming complex, tennis facilities, skate
facilities, open turf, a recreation building, several public art pieces, water feature and
children's play area.
La Quinta Museum. Purchased by the City in 1999, the original 871 square foot
building was originally a real estate office in the 1930's. A 6,000 square foot addition is
being planned to expand the educational and historical information areas for public use.
There will be an archive room, educational lab, retail area, meeting room with kitchen
and exhibit space surrounding a decorative courtyard.
La Quinta Senior Center. Completed in 1994, this 10,500 square foot facility offers
educational and recreational opportunities. This facility provides a meeting room, multi-
purpose room, kitchen, health center, computer lab, arts and crafts room as well as a
putting green.
La Quinta Sports Complex. The Sports Complex, located on Desert Sands Unified
School District property, is a joint use facility maintained by the City. Baseball fields,
softball fields, soccer fields, a restroom/concession facility, and children's play area
make this one of La Quinta's most active facilities used by AYSO, youth baseball and
youth football.
Seasons Park. Long and narrow, Season's Park provides grass area and a children's
play area.
Velasco Park. This recently completed small facility offers a children's play area and
open turf within the surrounding Cove neighborhood.

2.3 DEMOGRAPHIC TRENDS
The benchmark data most commonly employed for population in the U.S. is the
Decennial Census. Although these data are sometimes subject to criticism, they are a
commonly accepted database. The 2000 Census data are still being released and
serve as the basis for the analysis. Not all of the data collected in the Census has been
released — especially economic measures such as income and housing value.
Estimates for the year 2000 prepared by Claritas, Inc., a leading provider of
demographic data, are presented in Exhibit 2.3-1 for those data which are not available
from the Census. Exhibit 2.3-1 compares measures of growth since 1990 and highlights
specific characteristics of the City of La Quinta's population as compared with
aggregate data for Riverside County.
Permanent population in the City of La Quinta has grown much more rapidly than the
County of Riverside as a whole since 1990, more than doubling in size over the ten year
period, while the population Countywide increased by 32 percent. Household sizes
have decreased slightly in the City over the ten-year period between Censuses from an
average of 2.85 persons per household in 1990 to 2.80 in 2000. Over the same period,
household sizes in the County have increased from 2.85 to 2.98 persons per household.
The fastest increases in population in La Quinta appear to be occurring in the age
categories of 40 years and over. There is also above average growth in the age groups
10 to 17 years in the City. The highest rate of growth in the City was in the over 65 age
group, however the proportion of the population in this category, at 13.4 percent, was
not significantly higher than that in the County as a whole in 2000. Both areas
experienced below average growth in the population aged 18 to 39 years.
Median household incomes in the City of La Quinta are somewhat above the median
figures for the Riverside County in 2000. The City of La Quinta is slightly less ethnically
diverse than the County as a whole in 2000, however, growth rates in the Asian and
Hispanic categories of the population have been well above average in the City over the
past ten years. While Asians still constitute only a small portion of the permanent
population in La Quinta at 1.9 percent, the Hispanic population was 32 percent of the
total in 2000. The 2000 Census collected racial data in a different manner than the
previous census, allowing respondents to identify with more than one race. The large
increase on the "Other" category reflects this change as this category contains the
respondents who indicated multiple races. The City has a much higher proportion of
homeowners than the County and also a somewhat above average percentage of
households which are families. Median housing values in the County are estimated to
be significantly above those found in the City. This demographic profile will be
incorporated into the demand analysis which follows.

Exhibit 2.3-2 incorporates estimates of the permanent population base in the City of La
Quinta from 1980 through 2001, with projections to buildout as prepared by the City
planning staff, based on growth estimates from the general plan currently being
prepared for the City. Population growth in the City over the ten-year period from 1990
to 2000 averaged 7.8 percent per year compounded or an average of 1,248 persons per
year. Between 1980 and 1990, growth averaged 818 persons per year. Average
household size increased from 2.63 persons in 1980 to 2.85 in 1990. The 2000 census
indicated an average household size of 2.80 persons. Household size is expected to
remain at the 2.80 level in future projections.
In summary, La Quinta's permanent population is expected to increase from the 2001
estimate of 26,321 to 48,050 by buildout of the area within the current City limits.
Estimates of total population for the City (including seasonal residents) are expected to
grow from an estimated 39,454 persons in 2001 to 66,750 when the City reaches
buildout.
Two additional areas identified in the general plan which is currently being prepared are
analyzed in this report. These are the areas identified as the Sphere of Influence and
Area 1. Current population estimates and buildout projections for these two areas were
provided by the general plan consultants as follows:
2001 Estimate Buildout
Sphere of Influence 692 4,646
Area 1 839
7,724
For both of these areas the permanent population and total population are assumed to
be equal, as they are not expected to be developed for seasonal residents.

Section Three NEEDS ASSESSMENT
The purpose of the needs assessment portion of the planning effort is to identify
recreational needs within the community and determine the relative priority of each
identified need. The following needs analysis tools will be addressed in this section:
Community Input: Sports User Group Workshop
Facility Demand and Needs Analysis
Service Area Analysis
3.1 Sports User Group Workshop
On June 7, 2001, representatives of sports user groups in La Quinta were invited to
discuss park facility issues relating to sports and active use of park facilities. This group
was selected to participate because of their extensive familiarity with athletic facilities
and with the groups that tend to use them. Approximately ten (10) attendees
participated in the La Quinta workshop discussions.
An overview of the Master Plan process and of existing La Quinta facilities was
presented, followed by a brief outline of the workshop agenda. The results of the
evening's questions and answers were recorded and incorporated into the Master Plan
document.
Attendees were divided randomly into 2 groups of 5, and were presented with the first of
four questions pertaining to sports facility use. Participants answered the questions
individually then, as a group, discussed individual answers until a group consensus
answer was reached and recorded on large format paper. A representative from each
group then presented the group's conclusions to all participants and posted the answers
on the wall. With all groups' answers posted, trends and patterns become clear. The
remaining four questions were each posed, answered, and presented in the same way.
OVERVIEW OF RESULTS
Following are the four questions and associated consensus results.
What are the top park/sports facilities in La Quinta? And Why?
In the opinion of workshop participants, the top three park/sports facilities are Adams
Park, La Quinta Sports Complex, and Fritz Burns Park. Quality of facilities and the
fact that the facilities were multi -use were positive aspects mentioned.

Needs Assessment
•
2. What are the worst park/sports facilities in La Quinta? And Why?
Participants indicated that La Quinta Sports Complex was too small and has poor
maintenance.
3. List the top park/sports facility needs in La Quinta.
in general, participants believed that a regional park, specialty parks, additional
neighborhood parks, a community center, a skate park, and a larger tax base were
significant needs in La Quinta. However, the workshop participants felt the greatest
park/sports facility need for La Quinta is a Sports Park/Facility.
4. Are there any opportunities at existing parks to meet facility needs?
Participants identified several opportunities to meet parks/sports facility needs, the top
three are: 1) Annexation 2) Light Existing Fields and 3) Approach K.S.L. (major
land owners).
3.2 RECREATION DEMAND AND NEEDS ANALYSIS
This section analyzes the demand for recreation and park facilities and programs by the
residents of La Quinta. A key element in any planning strategy is an understanding of
the nature of demand for parks and recreation facilities. Without this understanding,
policy can only be based on general standards of supply and demand, such as
population ratios (acres per thousand population) or service area (distance to park
facility). Such standards are useful guides but the demand analysis guarantees that the
needs assessment reflects the character of La Quinta.
Participation Rate Simulations
While standards developed elsewhere represent a valuable resource, they are for the
most part too generalized and/or outdated to provide more than the most superficial
guidelines in defining recreation needs. Techniques described below are used to
generate participation rates which are made specific to the residents of La Quinta.
These rates are then be used to determine the recreation needs which are unique to the
City.
The Consultants have conducted detailed telephone interviews in a sample of at least
12 to 15 other California communities in conjunction with park master planning efforts.
One question which was common to all surveys obtained information about the
frequency of participation in approximately 20 to 25 recreation activities for each
member of the household being interviewed. These data were cross -tabulated
according to certain demographic measures such a age, household size and income.
Utilizing these cross -tabulations and the demographic profile of the residents of La
Quinta, it is possible to simulate the average participation rates for the residents of La
Quinta, assuming that participation rates are similar by demographic characteristic.
3-15
Needs Assessment
This methodology has been used successfully in several other California cities,
including Rancho Mirage, Lake Forest and Laguna Hills, where the budget for the
demand and needs analysis was not sufficient to allow for a telephone survey of the
residents.
The simulations of participation based on demographics provide the basis for
determining how the residents of La Quinta participate in recreation activities. The
nature of growth and population change establishes trends in demand for recreation
and leisure services.
Survey of Sports Organizations
To supplement the information regarding participation in organized sports which was
obtained from the simulations, a questionnaire was designed and distributed to the
organized sports organizations that use the City facilities. This survey obtained
information regarding the number of players and teams in the league or sports
organization, age ranges of the players, what seasons they play, if they travel outside
La Quinta to play, if they participate in tournaments, ratings of field/facility maintenance
and scheduling, projections of growth and facilities they have the greatest need for both
now and in the future. Detailed information was obtained for each division in the group
regarding the number of players, the size of facility required and the time and place of
all games and practices.
The survey was distributed by the City staff to five sports organizations in the City.
Some of the more factual information is summarized in Exhibit 3.2-1. The information
regarding the number of players, size of teams, seasonality and turnover of fields for
both games and practice are used to better define peak day demand and convert that to
number of fields required to meet the needs of this segment of the recreation market.
Information regarding which of the fields are currently being used by the sports groups
provided input to the inventory of sports fields regarding usage for adult sports, youth
sports and practices.

Demand Analysis
The participation rates in each of the active recreation activities analyzed (based on the
simulations described above) provide a basis for calculating demand for active
recreation facilities in relationship to the population served. These participation rates
are shown in the first column of Exhibit 3.2-2.
In order to convert these demand estimates into facility requirements, it is necessary to
make some assumptions regarding design standards for the peak level of demand.
Calculation of peak day demand involves multiplying the population estimates (current
population and population projected to the time of buildout) by the participation rate in
each activity. These estimates of gross demand are then adjusted to allocate part of
the demand to private recreation facilities and part to government or public facilities, if
applicable, using California Department of Parks and Recreation data regarding
patterns of facility usage. Similarly, a locational adjustment is made to account for
those activities which participants would normally engage in at locations outside of La
Quinta.
Peak day demand is determined on the basis of the seasonality of participation in each
of the various activities and, within peak seasons, the peak days of usage. The
calculations of peak day demand included in Exhibit 3.2-2 are designed to
accommodate all but three to eight days per year of peak activity for most of the
activities analyzed.
The actual facility requirement, however, is less than the aggregate of peak day
demand to allow for daily turnover in the use of recreation facilities. Peak day demand
was modified as shown in Exhibit 3.2-2 by the anticipated turnover and capacity for
each type of facility. These estimates of daily turnover and capacity on peak day usage
periods are derived from studies conducted by the Bureau of Outdoor Recreation, U.S.
Department of the Interior regarding optimum recreation carrying capacity as well as
from other park studies in which the consultants have been involved. The calculations
in Exhibit 3.2-2 are based on the current (2001) permanent population level in the City
of La Quinta of 26,321. Some of the facility demand is based on total population as
noted in the footnote to Exhibit 3.2-2. Total population in 2001 is estimated to be
39,454. Included in the Exhibit is an estimate of the number or size of facilities required
to accommodate peak day demand in the context of peak day design standards
discussed above. Similar calculations were carried out to determine the demand levels
when the City reaches the buildout permanent population of 48,050 (total population
66,750). These calculations are shown in Exhibit 3.2-4.
The relationship of the current need for facilities in La Quinta to the current population
level is the basis for the "facility need ratio" or the measure of the level of population in
La Quinta that creates the demand for one facility or one unit of measure such as miles
or acres. This ratio for each of the types of facilities analyzed is also presented in
Exhibits 3.2-2 and 3.2-4. This will be the basis for the needs analysis presented in the
following section.

FACILITY NEEDS ANALYSIS
Methodology
The level of population in La Quinta that creates the demand for facilities is derived from
the simulations of participation as described in the previous section. This "facility need
ratio" is shown again in Exhibit 3.2-3. The current facility needs are determined by
multiplying the current population by the "facility needs ratio." These needs, in terms of
the number or size of facilities demanded, are then compared with the total of existing
City, school district, recreation district and other public facilities to determine whether
the existing inventory of facilities is adequate in terms of demand conditions.
As an example of the analytical process, the needs ratio for organized youth soccer
game fields is one field for every 3,100 residents. Based on the 2001 population of the
City, the requirement for youth soccer game fields is an estimated 8.5 fields. The
existing inventory of such fields is 6.0 fields, leaving a deficit of 2.5 fields if the inventory
in the City of La Quinta were to match the peak day requirement as defined.
Fields used for youth baseball and softball games and practices are shared by these
two sports activities. Thus in the analysis presented in Exhibit 3.2-3, these two demand
numbers are combined and compared with the number of fields used for these sports.
Two of the fields used for games are T-ball fields, but they are included in the inventory
in order to match demand, which includes T-ball.
Facility Reguirements
The needs analysis presented in Exhibit 3.2-4 indicates existing deficits in many of the
types of facilities that were analyzed. The facilities showing deficits, in addition to youth
soccer game fields, include youth softball/baseball game fields, youth softball/baseball
practice fields, adult softball game fields, pony/colt and adult baseball fields, youth
soccer practice fields, public golf courses, outdoor informal basketball courts and
walking/jogging paths.
The need for facilities was projected to buildout using the demand figures presented in
Exhibit 3.2-4. These projections are presented in Exhibit 3.2-5. The deficits in the
facilities listed above increase proportionately as the population increases over time. In
addition, by the time of buildout, there will be a need for more tot lots/playgrounds,
tennis courts, and a skate boarding facility.

Exhibit 3.2-6 summarizes the change in demand between 2001 and buildout or the
demand resulting from growth expected to occur during this period. This Exhibit
describes the number or size of facilities by type that will be required just to
accommodate the future growth in the City of La Quinta. The existing 2001 surplus or
deficit in facilities is combined with the growth projections in Exhibit 3.2-7 to provide the
cumulative estimate of the additional number or size of facilities by type that will be
required in the City of La Quinta between 2001 and buildout.
The same series of analyses of demand and needs are carried out for the area defined
as the Sphere of Influence for the City of La Quinta and the results are presented in the
Exhibits numbered 3.2-8 through 3.2-13. Similarly, Area 1, as identified in the general
plan document currently being prepared, is analyzed and the demand and needs for this
area are presented in Exhibits 3.2-14 through 3.2-19. As neither of these areas has any
existing recreation facilities at the current time, the number of facilities demanded is
equal to the facilities needed for each type of facility analyzed. Exhibit 3.2-20
summarizes the facility needs for all three areas.

the same fields are used by both Little League and Girl's Softball so
the demand for these two sports has been
combined in this analysis.
There are 6 regulation game fields in City
facilities,
but inventory also includes two
T-ball fields used for games in order to match demand.
Two semi -private courses are counted at 50 percent. One
executive
course is
counted as 3/4 course.
ote: If fields used for organized
games are also used as practice fields, they are
counted in both categories.
School facilities other than ball fields are counted at 50 percent to allow
for time not available
to the public.

3.3 SERVICE AREA ANALYSIS
In addition to providing appropriate quantities and types of recreation facilities, the City
strives to provide them in useful and appropriate locations. Policy 5-1.1.1 of the City's
General Plan suggests that, in combination, neighborhood parks and community parks
"...provide overlapping service areas within the entire incorporated area of the City.'
The General Plan further establishes service area radii of .5 miles for neighborhood
parks and 1.0 to 2.0 miles for community parks. Generally, this is taken to mean that
most residences should be within .5 miles (a walkable distance) of a neighborhood or
community park and 1.0 mile of a community park.
To analyze the extent to which the distribution of existing facilities is consistent with this
policy, a service area radius map is provided (see Exhibit 3.3-1 and 3.3-2). Using
appropriate radii determined by facility type, theoretical circular service areas are
generated with the facility location as the central radius point. Geographical or other
physical obstructions should be considered in analysis of actual service area, so service
area shapes are not necessarily full circles but may be truncated to reflect a major
barrier such as an arterial roadway. When areas zoned for residential use fall outside
graphic service area designations, it can be said that the area may be underserved by
existing facilities.
Although the majority of La Quinta is served by existing recreation facilities, service area
analysis demonstrates that there are several significant residential areas not within .5
miles of a developed recreation facility. These gaps are shown graphically in Exhibit
3.3-1 and 3.3-2. Gaps in service can be addressed by adding a new facility or by
making available an existing facility, such as a school, not previously available for
recreation. Service area analysis is a significant needs analysis tool used in this report,
and recommendations pertaining to addressing gaps in service are provided in Section
Four.

Section Four FACILITY RECOMMENDATIONS
This Section summarizes recommendations with respect to existing parks, unimproved
parkland, and joint use opportunities. Recommendations are intended to address the
recreation needs identified in previous sections and are the result of analysis of existing
inventory, analysis of demand, community input, and consideration of established goals
and policies.
Recommendations of the Master Plan are planning proposals only. Feasibility and
specific design of new improvements will be determined as a result of the capital
improvement project budget process conducted by the City each year.
4.1 RECREATION FACILITY COMMUNITY CONCEPT
The City's General Plan offers a kind of vision established in the many goals and
policies of the Park and Recreation Element. Further, the General Plan provides this
vision statement:
"The City of La Quinta's vision of the future for improved parks and recreation acreage
and facilities focuses on providing a wide variety of parks for all City residents to
enhance the quality of life through the provision of a community -wide, conveniently
accessed network of facilities and activities sensitive to the recreational needs and
desires of the citizens of La Quinta. It is essential that park and recreation opportunities
are integrated, both physically and visually, with the City's open space areas, historic
and archaeological resources and areas which are sites for designated cultural activities
to maintain and enhance the desirability of La Quinta as a place in which to live, work,
and play."
Accordingly, recommendations of this master plan are reflective of the desire to provide
the appropriate number of recreational elements (based on demand and needs analysis
and on community input) in appropriate locations (based on service area analysis)
which, taken together, provide total acreages consistent with General Plan objectives of
3.0 acres per 1,000 residents. In future Sphere of Influence and Planning Area 1 areas,
care has been taken to propose facilities which meet recreation deficiencies for those
areas and which meet acreage goals for those specific areas, based on anticipated
population. In other words, new areas are not intended to carry an unreasonable
burden to meet recreation needs of the entire community. The exception might be the
proposed community park CP-3 which, in the approximate population center of future La
Quinta, is envisioned in this Master Plan as a sports complex serving more than just the
immediate community.
The Master Plan recommends the addition of seventeen (17) new facilities to meet
identified existing and future recreation needs within current city boundaries, the city's
sphere of influence, and in Planning Area 1. This includes one municipal golf facility, six
4-1
Facility Recommendations
(6) community parks, and ten (10) neighborhood parks and is intended to address
needs anticipated at ultimate build -out population levels.
In general, the recreation needs picture in La Quinta consists of two separate issues: 1)
addressing recreation needs in existing residential areas, and 2) addressing future
recreation needs in future residential areas.
4.2 SUMMARY OF PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS TO ADDRESS RECREATION
NEEDS IN ESTABLISHED RESIDENTIAL AREAS
Over the last several years, the City has actively pursued and/or implemented
numerous, significant park improvement projects including park development (Velasco
Park, Cove Oasis/Lake Cahuilla Trailhead, La Quinta Community Park, Bear Creek
Trail, Desert Club Manor Park, Civic Center Campus) park expansion (Eisenhower
Park), and park renovation (Fritz Burns Park). These projects addressed recreation
needs in existing residential neighborhoods. Aside from Phase II at the Cove Oasis /
Lake Cahuilla Trailhead, no significant new recreation elements are proposed in existing
recreation facilities.
As identified by service radius analysis, several areas remain underserved by
convenient recreation facilities. The following proposed new parks address service area
gaps and recreation element deficiencies identified in needs analysis.
Please refer to Exhibit 4.2-1 and 4.2-2 for graphic illustrations of locations and to Exhibit
4.2-3 for a matrix summarizing all recommendations.
CP-1. Cove Oasis Trailhead Phase II improvements will allow this facility to effectively
serve the entire community as a trailhead staging area. Restrooms, shade elements,
pathways, and picnic areas are to be added. A participatory water element is also
anticipated. Taken together with the nearby Bear Creek Trail facility and with the future
Yucatan Park facility, a significant trail and recreation facility will be realized. This is not
a typical community park in that the elements are generally passive, not sports oriented.
NP-1. This future facility has been named Yucatan Park and will serve the south Cove
residential area, providing recreation elements such as a childrens' play area,
basketball court, tennis courts, open turf, pathways, shade elements, and picnic
elements. The property is already reserved and awaits design and implementation.
NP-2. This future facility fills a neighborhood park gap in the northwest Cove residential
area. Its precise location and size has not been identified because implementation
would likely require purchase of an existing private lot. Ideally, the facility would be
located near Bear Creek Trial and would include a childrens' play area, turf, and shade
elements.
4-2
Facility Recommendations
NP-3. This future facility fills a neighborhood park gap in the northwest hillside
residential area. Its precise location and size has not been identified because
implementation would likely require purchase of an existing private lot. Ideally, the
facility would be located near hillside open space and would include a childrens' play
area, shade elements, and elements that relate materially and in character to natural
hillsides.
NP-4. This future facility fills a neighborhood park gap in the residential area above
Fred Waring Drive. Its precise location and size has not been identified because
implementation would likely require purchase of an existing private lot. The facility
should include a childrens' play area, turf, and shade elements.
NP-5, Monticello Park. This future facility fills a neighborhood park gap in the northeast
existing residential area. Property is already owned by the City and has been named
Monticello Park. At four (4) acres, the facility could include a childrens' play area, open
turf and shade elements.
Low density private golf communities were not targeted for receiving new neighborhood
recreation facilities, based on the assumption that associated golf courses and
clubhouses satisfy primary recreation needs for those communities.

4.3 PROPOSED RECREATION IMPROVEMENTS TO ADDRESS FUTURE
RECREATION NEEDS IN FUTURE RESIDENTIAL AREAS
Recommendations for future recreation facilities in areas not yet developed consist of
general suggestions of location, facility type, recreation elements contained, and
general size. It is assumed that the City, when areas are proposed for development,
will coordinate with project developers to provide land and/or built facilities as part of
project conditions. When a proposed recreation facility is larger than required by
Quimby provisions or by negotiated conditions, the City should facilitate the larger
facility by other means, so that the recreation system maintains its vision and integrity.
Except for CP-3 and CP-8 (larger facilities) neighborhood parks and community parks
are intended to satisfy recreation needs of the immediate community so that, for
instance, community parks in Planning Area 1 provide the appropriate number of
ballfields to address ballfield needs in Planning Area 1.
Please refer to Exhibit 4.2-1 and 4.2-2 for graphic illustration of locations and to Exhibit
4.2-3 for a matrix summarizing all recommendations.
CP-2. Identified in the 1992 General Plan and the 1996 Parks and Recreation Master
Plan as proposed, the need for a community park in this general location is verified by
current needs analysis. Ideally located near Jefferson Street, this active facility should
include three (3) ball fields, two (2) soccer fields, concession building, restrooms, a
children's play area, shade elements, and picnic elements.
CP-3. Identified in the 1992 General Plan and the 1996 Parks and Recreation Master

COMMUNITY SERVICES COMMISSION MEETING
DATE: September 9, 2002
ITEM TITLE: Skate Board Ordinance
BACKGROUND:
The City Council approved an amendment to Chapter 11.96 of the La Quinta
Municipal Code to add section 11.96.010 prohibiting skateboarding, bicycle riding
and roller-skating in certain areas on public property, as provided in Attachment A.
With the Civic Center Campus being completed and open to the public, it is
anticipated that the design of certain elements on the campus will be attractive to
those wishing to skateboard on the site. In order to be able to protect the safety of
the general public and those wishing to skate, an amendment to the La Quinta
Municipal Code was needed.
As reference, staff is researching the concept of installing a skate park at Fritz
Burns Park, in the current roller hockey rink as the infrastructure is in place at the
site. The funds are available to construct a modular park. However, funding for
staffing of the facility must be addressed. It is anticipated that the concept of the
Skate Park will be brought to the Community Services Commission for
consid ration at a future meeting.

S. CONSIDERATION OF AMENDMENT TO SECTION 11.96.005 OF THE LA
QUINTA MUNICIPAL CODE ADOPTING REGULATIONS PERTAINING TO
SKATEBOARDING, BICYCLING, AND ROLLER SKATING.
Mr. Hartung, Building & Safety Director, advised that the proposed ordinance would
restrict the use of skateboards, bicycles, and roller -blades on sidewalks in office and
commercial areas of the City and is supported by the Chamber of Commerce.
In response to Council Member Perkins, Mr. Cosper advised that the ordinance restricts
the use of roller skates or any similar device.
Council Member Perkins wished to see "roller -blades" added to the wording in the
ordinance.
In response to Council Member Adolph, Ms. Honeywell, City Attorney, advised that the
purpose of the ordinance is to prevent accidents and legal action against the City would be
more likely if an accident occurred and the City hadn't adopted an ordinance to address
the safety hazard. The ordinance applies to private open space areas where pedestrians are
more likely to be found. She suggested that the ordinance require private property owners
to post signs prohibiting the restricted activities.
Council Member Perkins felt that signs should be posted at the entrances.
It was moved by Council Members Sniff/Adolph to take up Ordinance No. 279 as
amended by title and number only and waive further reading. Motion carried
unanimously.

COMMUNITY SERVICES COMMISSION MEETING
DATE: September 9, 2002
ITEM TITLE: Modular Skate Park Component Review
BACKGROUND:
Staff is considering proposing a modular skate park system for a location at Fritz

Recreation Society Conference, where staff and Commissioner Bechard were able
to view the components and have questions answered.
The City of Indio's Parks and Recreation Commission will have a presentation by a
manufacturer's representative on October 3, 2002, at 5:30 at Indio City Hall.
Attachment A provides a map to Indio City Hall. The components are being
brought out on a trailer for review and the representative will be able to answer
questions.
In order to expedite the review process, and to have questions answered by the
representative at the time of product review, the Commissioners may wish to
attend the Indio Parks and Recreation Commission meeting to view the
components. Please note that this is an informational meeting only, and therefore,
discussion regarding the City of La Quinta's facility may not result in decisions
being discussed at this time.
