Mr. Brauer asked the members of Park and Recreation to define several
basic terms used in park planning in order to establish a common
understanding for efficient communication. Examples of these terms
are - tot lot, conservation area, open area, etc. Mr. Brauer also
asked for concepts of recreation - in other words - what types of
