t Metropolitan Council Local Planning Handbook 1 Section 6. Parks and Open Space <br />Regional Parks <br />Policy Plan <br />Maps <br />Resources <br />The presence of legislation that protects parks and open space in the <br />Metropolitan area demonstrates that these are deemed essential to <br />the quality of life of our region's residents. <br />The definition and value of parks and open space are codified in <br />Minnesota statute. Minnesota statute defines regional recreation <br />open space and lists the variety of parks and facilities included. <br />That value translates into the requirements specified in the <br />Metropolitan Council's 2030 Regional Parks Policy Plan. <br />The entire 2030 Regional Parks Policy Plan is available on the <br />Metropolitan Council's website. <br />The Metropolitan Council's 2030 Regional Parks System Map <br />identifies existing regional parks and trails. <br />Another map of the 2030 Regional Parks System shows the location <br />of search areas for new facilities. <br />The Metropolitan Council's Parks staff are available to answer <br />questions about the comprehensive plan requirements or specific <br />park facilities. <br />Minn.
