5 OPEN SPACE
Natural open space serves myriad purposes in the community. It provides relief from the built environment of buildings and pavement; recreation opportunities such as hiking, bicycling, bird watching and water activities; and the chance for residents to connect with nature. Open space also provides a host of ecologic benefits, providing space to purify soil, water and air; absorb noise, wind and visual disturbances; store water and carbon; and reduce the urban heat island effect. When connected to parks and recreation facilities by trails, open space becomes an integral component of the City's comprehensive public lands system.
