L10 LANDFILL SITE
L
LOCATION-SPECIFIC RECOMMENDATIONS
PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS A number of ideas have been identified if future park uses are determined to be appropriate on the landfill site, subject to consultation with the RDCO and further analysis, including, but not limited to: f Athletic Field Development: If feasible, the landfill site could be an opportunity for additional field space close to Kinsmen Park; however, grades and geotechnical instability would require careful consideration (see I1 Athletic Fields).
f Off-Leash Dog Area: The site would have space to develop a large off-leash dog area (see I7 Pets In Parks).
f Bike Skills Park: The site could support a bike skills park if this use has not been established elsewhere (see I6 Rolling Activities).
f Natural Park Area: With revegetation, the site could form a natural park and trails area.
f Disc Golf Course: The site could support a disc golf course if this use has not been established elsewhere (see I9 Disc Golf).
f Other Ideas: As identified through future park planning. TIME FRAME
ACTIONS L10.1 Consult with the RDCO to determine the anticipated timeframe and actions for landfill remediation and its potential for future park space.
