Figure 2-4: City Park Service Areas
The Morgan Hill park system is generally accessible to most residents. There are a few service
area gaps in the northeast and central southern areas of the City. Some of the gap areas are
in commercial and industrial areas or residential estate and low-density neighborhoods with
large lot sizes. Other gaps are in denser residential neighborhoods, where there is a need for
increased access to recreational opportunities. The adjacent County Park facilities fill some of
this need for residents in north and northeast neighborhoods. In some cases, these gaps may
be addressed through improved bicycle and pedestrian and transit connections to existing
parks. In other areas, they may be best addressed through the development of new parks.
