Provide flexible open spaces that can be used as gathering spaces.
Parks and recreation facilities often serve as community gathering spaces, from small gatherings to large events. Areas should be designed to be flexible enough to accommodate these events while serving as space for informal play, picnicking, or other casual uses between events. These spaces may include both paved and soft surfaces and include amenities such as amphitheaters for performances. Infrastructure to support these gatherings, such as power and water hookups, Wi-Fi, and equipment storage for vendors and event holders may be needed.
