CMP Part 4E. Parks, Trails, and Open Spaces <br /> INTRODUCTION <br /> The provision of parks, open space areas and trails is an essential quality of life element for the residents <br /> of the City. It is important for Orono to develop and implement a thoughtful strategy for meeting these <br /> needs in an efficient, economical manner. This Park, Open Space and Trail Plan is a refinement and <br /> restatement of the ongoing planning practice of the City of Orono. It respects and maintains the historic <br /> development patterns of the City. It continues many of the basic open space concepts established by the <br /> first organized comprehensive planning attempts in the mid 1960's, the 1974 Orono Village <br /> Comprehensive Guide Plan, and the 1980 Community Management Plan, the 2000-2020 CMP, and the <br /> 2010-2030 CMP.
