A basic policy of the plan described in the first _ Graft is to “develop and maintain a system of recreational land and facilities that meet recreational needs at each level of community development.” As an example of an area that could. be - developed in conjunction with these policies, McNairnay said the horseshoe area at the foot of the bench had been proposed as the site of a major district park. “Environmental conditions don't make this area suitable to build on, but with large, open fields it tay be good park land,” he explained. “The same with Terrace mountain,” he continued. “It's hard and rocky to build on and we have lots of other suitable land so we'd like to see it developed as a park.” After the development of major parks, Me- Nairnay said the plan encouraged the development of neigh- bourhood parks, then smaller ‘tot parks’, using land presently owned: by the municipality or as the result of land acquired by municipal policy, ’ MeNairnay also ex- plained the plan has several other potential priorities for future city councils that reflect basic policies, including the development of a capital expenditure program for park improvements; continued improvements of Lower Little Park; the development of Ferry Island as a municipal and tourist park; and the construction ‘of jogging a new ideand:-maintain:~ DOW M (RUPERT open: Mon. threngh SALVAGE LTD.
