B.INTRODUCTION
The qualityoflifefor Winter Springs’ residents is linked closely tothe development and
management of a well-maintained, accessible systemof public parks, trails and open space. The
City is wellknown for its award-winningCentral Winds Park and the quality of recreational
programs and events offeredthere. Such facilities play a key role in shaping both the landscape
and the quality of lifeofWinter Springs’residents throughthe conservationofnaturalresources
and provision of recreational facilities. It is the intent of the Citytoprovide an appropriate
balance of both active and passive recreationforthe community. The quality of life for residents
of Winter Springs is not only linked to the availability of a well-maintained system of public park
and recreation facilities, but also to the quality of the natural resources they contain. Privately
managed parks, open space and facilities provide additional components of the open space and
recreational system serving City residents. As additionalparks are developed, considerationfor
the balancebetween conservation issues and the provision of active recreationbecomesan
important ingredient in the park development process. The City’s lead office in chargeofparks
and recreational programs is the Parks and Recreation Department.
The purpose ofthisdata is to identify existing and planned open space and recreation facilities,
review Level of Service (LOS) standards for these facilities, and analyze current and projected
park and recreational needswhich support the Recreation and Open Space Element. The Element
includes specific goals, objectives, and policies to guide the provision of recreation and open
space facilitiesthrough the year20302040.
C.INVENTORY OF EXISTINGRECREATION ANDOPEN SPACE FACILITIES
Parks conserve open space and natural resources and provide recreation opportunities. In
general, parks are categorized as being either activity-based or resource-based. Activity-based
parksprovide user-oriented,recreationfacilitiesdesigned for a specific purpose such as tennis,
basketball, softball or soccer, while resource-based parks utilize the natural environment to
provide more passive activities such as picnicking,hiking, fishing, swimming, or boating.
The City provides a wide rangeof recreation opportunities to its residents. The City’s park
inventory includes numerous parksandrecreational facilities where citizens canenjoy bothactive
and passive forms ofrecreation. (See Table VI-2: Inventory of Public Parks andRecreational
Facilities and Open Space, 20092020).
1.Public Parks and OpenSpace
Thepublic park system within WinterSprings includes approximately 380.5408.83 acres.
This acreage includes City-owned parks and open space, as well as State andCounty-
ownedrecreational facilities located within the City limits, such as the Cross Seminole Trail
. (JettaPointCounty Park is notcurrentlyincluded,butwill beincludedonce developed.)
Map VI-1 illustrates the publicparksystem.Alsoincluded are Seminole County
facilities located near the City.
Cityparks have been classified in congruence with guidelines set forth in Florida’s Statewide
Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (20072019) published bytheFlorida Department
of EnvironmentalProtectionand 9J-5, Florida Administrative Code (FAC). The categories
utilized by the City include regional parks (State and County), communityparks,
neighborhood parks, tot lots,urban plazas and squares,and open space. Only sites that
are publicly owned have been included in this section.

As notedon TableVI-2, many City parksoffer both passive and active recreation
opportunities. Some examples are Central Winds Park, Ranchlands Park, and Sam Smith
Park, all of which offer active recreational facilities as well as passive areas for fishing
andpicnicking.
a.Regional Parks
Regional Parks are large, resource-based parks serving more thantwo
communities and featuring outdoor recreationresources and facilities that
capitalize onandpromote appreciation of the natural environment. Regional
parks should serve a populationof over 100,000 (generally located within an
hour’s drivingdistanceof the park) and should range in size from a minimum of
250 acres to as much as several thousand acres. The City relies on the State and
theCountyfor theprovision and maintenance ofregionalparks.
There are numerous regional resource-based parks and wilderness areas
accessible tothe City’s residents (see Florida Managed Habitat Conservation
Areas Map located in theConservation Element).

Trails (in or near Winter Springs):
A network of trails provides a range of economic, aesthetic, environmental and
recreation benefits to citizens of a community, beyond thebenefitsthataccrueto
private landowners. A trailsnetwork can increase residential and commercial
propertyvalues,encourage the revitalization of declining area, attract tourist, and
provideanalternative to the use of automobiles that can help reduce traffic
congestion.The Cityhasparticipated in regional trail planning and development
activities in recent years that have substantially increased access to trail
recreational opportunities for City residents.
Cross Seminole Trail
The FloridaDepartmentof Environmental Protection’s Office of Greenways and
Trailsowns, and has sub-leased to Seminole County, the Cross Seminole Trail, a
portionof whichislocated inWinterSprings. TheSeminoleCounty Parks and
RecreationDepartmentis incharge of maintaining the trail. An interlocal
agreement exists between the City and Seminole County regarding use and
maintenance of the CrossSeminole Trail. The City’s Parks and Recreation
Departmentassistedwiththedesign of the restroom facility located at the Black
HammockTrailhead (State Road 434 atState Road 417 (Seminole Expressway),

The Cross Seminole Trail begins at its connection to the Cady Way Trail just south of
Aloma and Howell Branch in Winter Park. It heads north for 23 miles where it connects
to the Seminole Wekiva Trail at the pedestrian bridge over Interstate 4 in Lake Mary.
The trail near and through Winter Springs currently runs six (6) miles from through
Layer Elementary School in Winter Springs to the intersection of State Road 434 and
State Road 426 in downtown Oviedo to Layer Elementary in Winter Springs, where
a small gap is exists. Other built sections of the trail include from CR 46A south to
Green Way Boulevard in Lake Mary and from Mikler Roadto the Orange County
Line. The Cross Seminole Trail connects with the Seminole Wekiva Trail via the I-4
Pedestrian Bridge in Lake Mary. Upon completion, the Cross Seminole Trail will be a
34.5 mile long continuous trail connecting Altamonte Springs, Longwood, Lake Mary,
Winter Springs, and Oviedo and connecting to the Cady Way Trail and the Orange
County Trail System. The trail will run from Spring Hammock Preserve in Winter
Springs to Howell Branch Road at the Orange County Line and will connect several

Florida National Scenic Trail
TheFlorida National Scenic Trail was congressionally established in 1983and is
hiking trail network that provides accessto scenic wilderness areas. Aportion
a
of theCross Seminole Trail coincides with the Florida National Scenic Trail.
The Great Florida Birding Trail
The Great FloridaBirding Trail is a program of the Florida Fish and Wildlife
Conservation Commission, supported in part by the Florida Department
ofTransportation andtheWildlife Foundation of Florida. In Seminole County, self-
guided designated trailsare included at the Little-Big Econ State Forest, the Lake
ProcterWilderness Area, and the Geneva Wilderness Area.
EconlockhatcheeRiver Paddling Trail
The Econlockhatchee River Paddling Trail is officially designated as part of Florida’s
Statewide System of Greenways and Trails. Access to this scenic wilderness river is
provided via a canoe launch site beginning 2.5 miles northwestof Chuluota on
State Road 419 (only 11 miles driving distance from WinterSprings). The trail
winds eastward through 18-miles of forested flatlands, swamps, and pasture, and
eventually feeds into the St. John’s River.Thisriver flows northeasterly to its junction
with the St. Johns River where the trail ends 1.5 miles downstream (north) of the
confluence.
Bear Creek Nature Trail
Bear Creek Nature Trail, owned and maintained by the City, provides a passive
area with a .5 mile nature trail paralleling Bear Creek.
b.Community Parks
Communityparks are defined as “ride to” parks that should be located near major
streets or arterials. Community parksare designed to serve the needs of four to
sixneighborhoodsthathave residentswithin a radius of up to three (3) miles.
Typical facilities found in community parks are designed to serveallages and
may includeboth passiveand activerecreation opportunities such as playground
areas, recreation buildings, sports fields, paved multipurpose courts, picnic areas,
open or free play areas,swimming pools, and landscaping. Communityparks
include: CentralWinds Park, Sunshine Park, Torcaso Park, Trotwood Park,
Blumberg Blvd. (Blumberg Park) andVeteran’s Memorial in the TownCenter
and, theBlack HammockTrailhead.,and the future Jetta Point County Park.
Some parks may fall under more than one category. Most County parks are
consideredcommunity parks,but those that hostnationalcompetitions and
tournaments can easily be classified as regional parks. Central Winds Park, located
on Lake Jesup, for instance,has beenclassified as a community park, dueto its
geographic area andthe type of recreational facilities and activities offered.
However, numerous civic festivals and special events are held in the park,drawing
citizens from all over SeminoleCountyand the Central Florida area. For this reason,
Central Winds Park has been locally considered aregional park. This parkoffers
competition quality baseball, softball, and soccer fields, which are reservedfor
league-play only, as well as basketball courts,volleyball courts,horseshoes,

d.Neighborhood Parks
Neighborhood Parks are “walkto” parks that are generally located along streets
where people can walk or bicycle without encountering heavy traffic. They serve
the population of a neighborhood in a radius of up to one-half (1/2) of a mile. A
neighborhood park size usually ranges from 2 to 10 acres. Typical facilities
provided include playground areas, recreation buildings, sports fields, paved
multi-purpose courts, picnicareas, open orfree playareas, and landscaping.
Neighborhood parks include Moss Park, Sam Smith Park, Ranchlands Park, and
Bear Creek Nature Trail.
e.Mini-Parks and Tot-Lots
Mini-parksare small facilities that serve a concentrated or limited population, as
well as specific groups such as toddlers. Mini-parks include tot-lots and are
designed toserve the needs ofa neighborhood within a radius of up to six (6)
blocks.A minimum ofone half (1/2) acre for each stand-alone park is
recommended. Mini-parks primarily offer passive recreation and typical facilities
provided include playground areas, benches, open space, picnic tables, and
landscaping.Mini-parks include Diane’s Park, Fruitwood Park, Winding Hollow,
Oak Hollow, Market Square and Magnolia Square.
Mostof the neighborhood and communityparksoffer the facilities typically found
in tot-lots and mini-parks.Manyhomeowner associations include private
recreationalfacilitieswithintheir developments. In many cases, these serve as
private mini-parks to those residents.
f.Open Space
The term “open space” iswidely used with a variety of meanings. However, its
meaning herein (and throughout the Comprehensive Plan) is taken from Rule 9J-5
Florida Administrative Code and simply means,is“undevelopedlandssuitable for
passiverecreation orconservation.”Open space does not refer to land found in
medians, buffers, or retention areas.
In Winter Springs, mostof thepublicly-owned open space was conveyedto the
Cityat the time ofsubdivisionplatting, as “parks” or “parkland”. However,most of
these areas are composed of undevelopable wetlands,such as the 69.5-acre
Tuscawilla Open Spacedonation.WindingHollowsubdivision also includes a
large 55-acreopen space with only .5-acre in addition, available for active
recreation. Not all openspaceorconservationareaswithin WinterSprings are
owned bythe City, many are privatelyowned. However, onlyCity-owned open
spaceisinventoriedwithin thisElement and included on Table VI-2 (with one
exception -the Hickory Grove Parkin the Town Center is included, but it is owned
bythe StateOffice ofGreenways and Trails).
g.UrbanPlazas and Squares
“Urban plazas” or “squares” are smallurbanpocket parkswhich vary insize from
1/10-acre to severalacres depending on their intended use.Their primary
function is to interspersecongested urban environments with aesthetically pleasing
VI - 17
39
areas for people to gather as groups or to sit individually. These plazasand
squares may contain benches and tables, commemorative structures, fountains, and
landscaping.Within theTown Center,numerous urban plazas and squares are
planned. Several have beencompletedand include: Blumberg Blvd., Market
Square, and a portion of Magnolia Square. Blumberg Blvd. also includes the
recently completed Veteran’s Memorial, located at Tuskawilla Rd. and Blumberg
Blvd. Most of theseurbanplazasand squares will serveas mini-parks. However,
in some cases (such asBlumbergBlvd.(Blumberg Park) and the, Veteran’s Memorial,
and the recently acquired pocket park along Michael Blake Blvd.), these facilities
serve as community parks becauseof theactivities offered there and the
significanceof the facilities.

D.EXISTING AND FUTURE PARKS AND RECREATION NEEDS
Recreational demands do not remain constant over time, but grow with population increases and
change as population demographics change. Attitudes and opinionscanbe drasticallyaltered
from a shift in the demographic makeup of a community. Therefore, it is necessary to assess
recreationalneeds and future demands for facilities in order to plan for the future.
VI - 27
49
1.Population TrendsandUser Needs
The City’s populationis projected anticipated toincrease by over 10,000byover7,000
residents by2030 2040. According to the U.S. Census,the median age increasedfrom
34 to 37 from 1990 to 2000to 42 in 2010 and is estimated at 43 in 2017.,and t The
percentage of persons aged 65 or older increased from 9.2% to 10.8%over the same
timeperiodfrom 1990 to 2000 and continued to increase to 17.4% of the population
according to the 2013-2017 American Community Survey (ACS)estimates. The projected
median age (USCensus) increased to 40 by2007. This trend is expectedtocontinue
through the long-term planning period.
The City is wellprepared to serve an aging population. During2007, the City completed
a 9,200 square foot expansion of the SeniorCenterwhichadded a new therapy pool
along with a large multi-purpose room. However, the City should continue to add
recreationalfacilities and programswhich addressthechanging demographicsof theCity,
whilecontinuingto support awidevariety ofprograms to serve all of its residents.
To accurately reflect changes in public demand, tools are needed to identify them. One
method is to survey the citizens for their input. The City has conducted severalinformal
surveys, many of which have not been documented. A City-wide survey was conducted in
1990. It questioned residents about the recreational activities they practiced on a
regular basis. The results showed that, at that time, residents wanted more playgrounds,
baseballfields,swimming pools, bike paths,and tennis courts.Sincethattime,theCity has
added numerous playgroundsand baseball fields, and the State has added the Cross
Seminole Trail. This type of survey should be conducted regularly on a five-year basis to
maintain consistency and tomonitor progress and changing demands.
An opinion survey of registeredvoters was completed in 2004, to explore interest and
support for a multi- purpose athletic facility and an aquatic center. The support was
greatest for the multi- purpose athletic center with 44 percent of those surveyed in support
of such a facility evenif it increased property taxes, 21 percent opposed and 35
percent requiring more information. Support dropped slightly (40 percent) and opposition
increased (32percent)for anaquatic center. Support fell further(36 percent) toalevel
nearly equalwith opposition (35percent)when respondents were askedif theywould
supportboth facilities withacombinedtax increasenecessarytosupport both facilities.
During the Winter Springs 2030 and Beyond survey in 2019, a number of questions focused
on parks and recreation and open space. Purchase ofgreen space (i.e. natural lands) was
a top priority for residents. Comments strongly suggested including arts, culture and theatre
into recreation programming. Other comments included natural resource activities such as
fishing and biking, a community pool and providing for more facilities/fields for a variety of
sports. Willingness to fund facilities through increased taxes scored below a neutral rating
at 2.95. Comments made it evident that a tax increase was not truly the way to go.
Suggestions included looking in the budget for reallocation, user and event fees, partnership
with the high school, or findingother sources of funding. Proponents in support of using tax
dollars to pay for recreation facilities provided comments that if there was an increase it
should be for specific projects vetted by the public and be primarily uses for natural areas,
arts/culture or an aquatic center. Not only did the option of “Funding for a Sporting Complex”
rate unfavorably (2.11), the comments provided were very clear that there are already
existing larger facilities throughout Seminole County and there are plenty of existing facilities
in the City. There were concerns about traffic, costs, and the large amount of greenspace
that would be lost. Additional comments also focused on the need for arts and culture
facilities. When asked about priorities for the City, the City-Wide Interconnected Trail System

ranked highest (35%), followed by the Lake Jesup Boardwalk (26%). The Aquatic Center
ranked next (20%), followed by the Library (12%). Indoor Recreation was the lowest ranking
option (8%). In addition, during the development of the Parks and Recreation Master Plan
2020, a recreational survey was administered to the residents.
2.Outdoor Recreation PlanningGuidelines
Three types of guidelines are commonly used in outdoor recreation planning according to
Florida’s Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (20072019). Thefirst type,
use guidelines, are employed as a meansof stating theamount ofusea resourceor
facility can accommodate under certain conditions. Thesecond type,-population
guidelines, are used indetermining the amount of resources and facilities that are required
to serve a given population. The third type- site guidelines, are used primarily for
acreage needs for local parks and recreation areas and openspace.
estimating
Manyvariations exist in outdoor recreation environments. Therefore, each jurisdictionmust
determine for its planning purposes how these guidelines will best serve their interests and
in most cases develop their own guidelines.
TableVI-4 identifies the median value of the survey results for nine user- oriented
facilities for which information on use was collected.

Populationguidelinesare hypothetical estimates of the amounts ofoutdoor recreation
resources and facilities that are required to support a given population. Generally,
population guidelines make no distinction between the varying requirements of different
segments of the population, but are used to assess community recreational needs by
determiningthe minimum number of resources and facilities required to serve the local
population. When used in concert with facility use guidelines and park/openspace site
guidelines, population guidelines can prove a useful tool in outdoor recreation planning.
Table VI-45 identifies populatiopopulation and usenguidelines for user-oriented
recreationalactivities.
Site guidelines are a set of general criteria for determining the specific types andamounts
of parklands necessary to accommodate the recreational needs of local communities. The
criteria define the acreage, facility type and service area requirements for various types
of community recreation sites and areas. They are most commonly used asa meansof
expressing outdoor recreation needs, based on population guidelines. The site guidelines
described in Table VI-6 are graphically applied to the City and depicted on Map VI-5.
The areas not served by existing parks primarily are parts of the City having larger lot
sizes in some cases, are areas still to be developed, such as the Greeneway Interchange
District.

Levels ofService (LOS) Standards
Level of Service (LOS)standards area measure for determining the specific types and
amounts or acreageofparkland necessaryto accommodate the recreationalneeds ofa
local jurisdiction. Winter Springs has historically defined its LOS based on acreage per
1,000 residents.
To better reflect the growing needs of the City for parkland, and in support of the desire
for increased greenspace as further discussed under the major issue of “Population,
Density, and Greenspace” (2008 EvaluationandAppraisal Report), Winter Springswill
increased theOverall Parkland LOS acreage from 5 acres per 1,000 residents to 8 acres
per 1,000 residents.
Additionally, aLOS for Open Space has been implemented. This LOS has been setat 4
acres per 1,000 residents to encourage the provision ofpublicopen space inWinter
Springs. Table VI-1 illustrates the existing parkand openspace acreage through
20302040,based on LOS standards.

3.RecreationalFacilities
Access to existing parks is available to many special needs groups.All of theCityparksprovideparking
for persons with disabilities and most provide paved paths and pavilions thatare wheelchair accessible.
Special considerationswill needtobe addressed on a site-by-sitebasis, for deficiencies in the special access
needsofthese groups. For example,whilepeople withdisabilitiesareprovided parking areasat most
of the parks, and wheelchair accessibilityisprovided inmany, internal access to facilities is still limited in
a few of the City’s parks.Consideration to theseaccess issues will need to be given at the timeof new park
development or renovations.
According to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) ADA, an important aspect of accessibility to be
considered whenconstructingnewparks or altering existing parks, is the issue of stablegroundsurfacing,
which allowsaperson with mobility impairmentto negotiate with dignity.For example, a large areaof
loose fill such as sand or wood chips is not easily accessible. Rather, a design following ADA guidelines
might use a combinationof more rigid surfaces such as an engineered woodfiber, rubber surfaces along
accessible routes, cleargroundspaces,and maneuvering spaces, in conjunction with small areas ofloose fill.
Per ADA standards, consideration should begiventothe general layout of youth play areas,particularly
to the integration of elements and spaces that can be accessedbychildren who are disabled. Specifically,
in areas where elevated play components are provided, additionalgroundlevel playequipment mustbe
provided andincorporated into the sameplay areas.Additionally, the ADA requires that at least 50% of
elevated play components must be located on an accessible route and connected by a ramp. The inclusion
of soft contained play structures would also provide recreational opportunities for children with disabilities.
The existing system of neighborhood andpassive parks affords access to cyclists and pedestrians, as
the parks arenumerous and dispersedinresidential areas throughoutthe City. Bicyclepathfacilities should
continue to be designed so as to join recreational areastogether with residential areas to upgrade the
accessibility for all citizens to recreation areas. Access issues will be addressed specifically within the
Goals, Objectives and Policies ofthisElement.
4.Meeting Future Recreation and Open Space Needs
As illustratedon Table VI-1, theCity doesnot expect to haveany oOverallParklandPark deficiencies
through 20302040. The addition ofSeminole County’s planned Jetta Point Park (37 acres in Winter
Springs) will further increase the surplus of Overall Parkland. A slightdeficiency is projected in Open Space
by 2035..However,withtheconveyance ofWetland Park in the TownCenter,thisdeficiency will be
eliminated.
Animportantaction needed bythe Cityin the immediate future is the planning of a City trail system to
interconnect with the Cross Seminole Trail.The Citycurrently owns a portionof FP&L easement which could
be the beginnings of thisnetwork.Inorder toaccomplish this, several policies relating to trails havebeen
added to theelement,as well as a newobjective in supportof this effort.
5.PublicParticipation in Recreation Planning
The City has provided numerous opportunities for citizen input into the recreational planning of the
City.TheParks and Recreation Department has held a number of public meetings, during whichtime, citizens
were ableto contributetheir ideas and make requests for future recreational opportunities.Anad hoc
advisorycommitteehelped develop the Central Winds Expansion Master Plan.For improvements at
Trotwood, neighborhoodswere notified and input was requested door to door. Similar outreach hasbeen
conducted for Torcaso Park, with a Master Plan process initiated in September2008. The City of Winter
Springs finalized the Parksand Recreation Master Plan in July 2021. As noted above, the City will continue
to conductperiodic surveys to identify future activity-based recreational preferences. That survey will need
to identify not only preferences in terms of fields and courts, but also whether City residents would be willing
to pay user fees for improved amenities, etc.

During the Winter Springs 2030 and Beyond surveyin 2019, a number of questions focused on parks and
recreation and open space. Purchase of green space (i.e. natural lands) was a top priority for residents.
Comments strongly suggested including arts, culture and theatre into recreation programming. Other comments
included natural resource activities such as fishing and biking, a community pool and providing for more
facilities/fields for a variety of sports.
