10 Parks and Public Space What is public space? Parks Plazas Streets Sidewalks Community gardens Public facilities (libraries and community centres) What is the public realm? Street furniture, street trees, planters, pavers, etc.

11 Parks & Amenities How do we plan for parks in the city? The Park Board gives priority to acquiring new parks: a) in areas with significant population growth b) in park deficient neighbourhoods c) along the waterfront - access rights (e.g. along Fraser River) d) through major rezoning: public open space or payment in lieu Where do the funds for public amenities come from? 75% from property taxes, utility fees, and user fees 10-15% through new development (DCLs and CACs) 10-15% from other levels of government + non-profit partners
