Preliminary Estimate

All projects include in estimate a 25% contingency based on construction cost.

Strategic Goal:

Thriving, Livable Neighborhoods

The project aims to protect limited open space through the acquisition of park land as identified by the

Parks & Recreation Master Plan over the next 10 years with a variety of park classifications

contributing to the overall total acreage of parkland. This would include focus areas within the Town

Center area, historic preservation and open green space.

Future Town Parks/Open Space

Parks & Recreation

Undeveloped open space/land in Morrisville

Develop a robust park system with adequate acreage and various park classifications, equitably

distributed throughout the Town.

The master plan indicates a service deficiency of nearly 40 acres in meeting the NRPS level of service

standards (9.6 acres per 1,000 residents) for recommended acreage of parkland per population for the

year 2017. To keep pace with projected population growth, the Town would need to add up to 135

acres of land over the next 10 years to meet recreational needs for a growing Town. Large tracts of

undeveloped land are more difficult to secure.
