1.1 PARK & FACILITY ASSESSMENTS

Park properties and facilities are the physical backbone of the parks and recreation system which

support and facilitate all programming, user experiences and access to recreational opportunities. It is

paramount that these properties and facilities be well maintained, meet current standards, and

accommodate the highest and best use. The upkeep, repair, and improvements to existing facilities

should be a top priority for any Parks and Recreation Department. Periodic assessment of their physical

condition is critical to the department’s ability to budget and implement priority repairs and

improvements in an organized and timely manner.

1.1.1 METHODOLOGY PROS Consulting and LPDA facilitated the assessment of physical conditions of parks and facilities

operated by the department. The objective of the assessments was to identify and quantify conditions

which ultimately have a direct effect on the quality of programming, user experiences and the public

health, welfare, and safety.

Assessment forms were customized to gather specific information. Facility (building) tours were

conducted by LPDA staff and facilitated by the Parks Departments Recreation Programs and Facilities

Supervisor or the Culpeper County Public Schools Director of Maintenance. Park assessments were

performed by LPDA staff, with over 30 years combined experience with conditions assessments and

facility planning. Forms required staff to inventory park and facilities features, such as infrastructure,

parking, and amenities, and then to evaluate their condition using a numeric scoring system. The scores

for all categories were added together, to yield the total score for the parks’ condition. The facilities

which were in the worst condition, yielded the highest scores.

Park conditions were assessed on a scale of (0) to (4) in a range of categories. A score of (0) indicates no

concerns, and a score of (4) indicates immediate major problems. The categories are: vehicular access,

ADA accessibility, parking availability, parking facilities, personal safety, sidewalks/paths/trails,

neighborhood linkages/connections, ball fields, turf, storm water drainage systems, irrigation systems,

landscaping (ornamental and natural), general cleanliness/appearance, equipment (playground,

backstops, hoops, etc.), and hard courts (tennis, basketball, etc.) The maximum total score possible for

a park to receive is 60.

Facility conditions were assessed on a scale of (0) to (4) in a range of categories. A score of (0) indicates

no problems, and a score of (4) indicates immediate major action needed. The categories are: overall

facility conditions, vandalism, offices, ADA accessibility, mechanical equipment, security, adequacy of

space, parking, gymnasium, auditorium, storage areas, kitchen, classrooms, and interior lighting.


2

The maximum total score possible for a facility to receive is 56, which would indicate that there are

immediate major problems in every category evaluated. Space was also provided on the forms for

reviewers to note specific observations that were not encompassed by any category, or to expand in

further detail about the conditions of a category. These observations are incorporated in the

assessment narrative as well as recommendations for each park and facility.

1.1.2 SUMMARY OF FINDINGS The scores for the condition of the facilities ranged from 18 for the Community Room, with the most

condition issues, to 0 for the Yowell Elementary School multi‐purpose room, which had the least

condition issues. The highest possible score for a facility is 56. The scores for the condition of the parks

ranged from 18 for Kestner Wayside, with the most condition issues, to 4 for Floyd T. Binns multi‐

purpose field, found to have the least condition issues. The highest possible score a park can receive is

60. The highest scores for both facilities and parks are relatively low (18 out of 56 and 18 out of 60,

respectively), which indicates that the condition of overall park system is better than average.

The facility with the most condition issues is the Community Room. Repairs and rehabilitation required

for the facility relate mostly to ADA access, cosmetic issues, poor parking options, and mechanical and

lighting issues.

The park found to have the most condition issues is Kestner Wayside. The most prominent issue with

this park is lack of visibility from the road and poor sight lines to the entrance drive. There are also

condition issues with the driveway, landscaping, site furnishings, and site drainage.

Over the course of assessing the condition of the parks and facilities, several issues were noted as

reoccurring in multiple places. Common deficiencies include:

FACILITIES ADA access issues

Inadequate parking during peak use

Inadequate storage space

Cosmetic issues

Obsolescence

PARKS Erosion of embankments, use areas and “dog paths”

Damaged, heaving or cracked sidewalks

Lack of adequate storm water infrastructure (conveyance, detention, treatment)

Mismatched site furniture

Lack of or poorly defined, non‐compliant ADA parking and access points

Damaged or misplaces trash receptacles

Placement of unsecure city trash and recycling bins

Lack of adequate comfort stations

Lack of neighborhood pedestrian connectivity

In several parks there were positive newer practices which provide better utility, aesthetics, and consistency and promote a favorable visual impression of the park system.

Generally consistent identification signs

CSPC compliant playgrounds, surfacing and access

Consistent rules signage

Well‐maintained athletic fields Tables 1 and 2 illustrate the assessment scoring of parks and

facilities. Those highlighted in red require the most attention

due to severity of conditions or the number of items needing

addressed. Refer to the individual park summaries for

identification of specific improvements and priority. It is

important to note that even though a park may have scored

well on overall conditions, there may be an issue such as

inadequate ADA access or faulty equipment which requires

immediate attention.

From this information, recommendations for capital

improvements will be developed which focus on safety, code,

and life cycle related deficiencies.

Culpeper Sports Complex

Location: 16358 Competition Drive Size: 59 AC Park Type: Special Use Park Features:

Soccer

Football

Baseball

Softball

Trails This park is largely in good condition with several minor conditions issues, most of which are related to storm drainage and grading.

There are several areas on the asphalt parking lots that hold water after rain events. Some turf areas also hold water and, as a result, become muddy and lose turf cover. The athletic fields appear to drain sufficiently, but the drainage ditches and open turf areas are sometimes muddy and wet. The gravel spaces near the baseball fields show significant ponding.

The parking lots are cracked in several places and vegetation is growing in the cracks, exacerbating the problem. The vegetation at the Sensory Garden appears weedy and unkempt. The turf generally looks healthy and well‐ maintained, but in some areas, there are bare spots, gouging, and other mower damage. There also appears to be mower damage on some of the site amenities such as signs, utility boxes, and lightpole bases.

The pea gravel area next to the baseball concession stand is failing. The gravel is migrating onto the parking lot and exposing the weed cloth that was installed as a base layer.

Key deficiencies needing attention:

Poor drainage surrounding sports fields and along trails

Poorly maintained vegetation and turf grass in common areas

Cracking and ponding in the parking lots Priority Recommendations:

Plan for pavement sealing and repair pavement drainage if needed

Regrade gravel areas near baseball encourage positive drainage

Review turf maintenance procedures with staff and/or contractors

Design and install a hard picnic plaza to the east of the soccer concession stand and to the west of the baseball concession stand (where the loose gravel is currently)

Keep the Sensory Garden maintained as per the intended design (remove unwanted vegetation)

Baseball field

Ponding and vegetation in parking lot

Mower damage

Lenn Park Location: 18063 Stevensburg Road Size: 81 AC Park Type: Community Park Features:

Adult softball

Event pavilion and amphitheater

Playgrounds

Radio‐controlled airplane runway and field

Scout camp

This park is located about five miles east of downtown Culpeper town and is surrounded by fields, farms, and

wooded lots. The upper, or northern, section of the park includes two softball fields, a small playground and

picnic shelter, and the event pavilion and amphitheater. The lower part of the park has a large playground,

sports field, pollinator garden, and a large radio‐controlled airplane field.

The majority of this rural park is in good condition with few maintenance issues. The more densely‐developed

areas have some minor to moderate condition issues.

The gravel trails and paths are in need of regrading and a fresh layer of gravel. They are eroded, muddy, and

weedy in several places. The turf adjacent to the event pavilion is bare and muddy in some spots. There are

some areas that are not ADA accessible due to minor infractions, such as loose gravel, erosion, slope, and

non‐mountable curbs. The south entrance is not well‐marked, lacks wayfinding signage, and is confusing for

first‐time visitors. The gravel vehicular area between the south entrance and the event pavilion is confusing

and not well‐defined.


Confusing secondary entrance

Erosion on perimeter trail and near historic memorial and garden

Unclear vehicular circulation and parking near event pavilion

Lack of permanent comfort stations Priority Recommendations:

Grade and resurface the perimeter trail

Add permanent comfort stations

Regrade and resurface area around cannon

Playgrounds

Paved trail

Skate Park

Multi‐use fields

Tennis courts

Baseball fields

This Park, operated by the Town of Culpeper, is in good condition overall, especially considering its heavy use.

The most significant condition issue is the asphalt path. There are several areas that are cracked and broken,

have disruptive ponding, or impede drainage from one side to the other when necessary. Turf grass has a few

bare spots and areas of flooding. There is vegetation growing in the concrete cracks in the skate park. The

low water bridge on the east end of the park has broken wooden railings. The bridge closest to the

playground has cracked concrete footings.

Mountain Run Lake Park

Location: J B Carpenter Jr Drive Size: 34 AC Park Type: Community Park Features:

Playground

Fishing access

Boat ramp

Dog park

Picnic shelters

This rural park is well‐maintained and has a variety of amenities. The new dog park is in good condition with

two exceptions: there is no water source for dogs and the gate latches do not function smoothly. The

horseshoe pits are missing a stake. The gutters and downspouts on pavilion three drain directly onto the

concrete pad, resulting in puddles and discolored concrete. Pavilions one and two exhibit some cracked

concrete, graffiti, stained concrete, and a leaning support post.

There is some evidence of erosion around the park, primarily in two locations: adjacent to roadways

(apparently due to storm runoff and overflow parking) and along the edge of the lake (where people who are

fishing traverse the shoreline).


Erosion along edge of lake

Muddy and eroded areas at edge of pavement

No water in dog park

Picnic pavilions show evidence of vandalism, excessive wear, and poor drainage systems

Spilman Park Location: 3543 Colvin Road Size: 27 AC Park Type: Community Park Features:

Picnic/event shelter

Multi use field

Tot lot playground

Historic features

Walking trails

This park is located about 13 miles north of Culpeper and is the most rural of the developed parks in the County. The most prominent condition issue with this park is the grading and access adjacent to the parking lot. The berm to the southeast of the parking lot restricts easy access to the picnic shelter, sports filed and horseshoe pits. There is significant erosion across the berm as a result of foot traffic and lack of a designated trail. The berm to the northeast of the parking area obstructs visibility to the tot lot, bench, and trailhead, creating a feeling of seclusion. This park would also ideally have pedestrian connections to the adjacent neighborhoods. Key deficiencies needing attention:

Poor visibility to playground from road and parking area

Berm between parking area and park amenities to the east

Cracks in pavilion floor

Erosion around parking lot

Leaning stone chimney


Construction pathway from parking area to picnic pavilion

Regrade area in between parking area and tot lot to provide better visibility

Add trail connections to adjacent neighborhoods

Repair or replace concrete floor in pavilion

Regrade and provide accessible access from parking area to pavilion

Regrade and revegetate to address erosion issues near parking lot and entrance

Historic stone chimney

Berm separating tot lot from entrance and parking

Berm between parking and pavilion

Erosion near entrance

Undeveloped Parkland Other than the undeveloped portion of Laurel Valley Park (250 acres of mostly undeveloped parkland), there are three parcels that are undeveloped parks; Kirkpatrick Park, Duncan Lutrell Park, and Linda Kite‐Cutler Park. Kirkpatrick Park Location: Kirkpatrick Lane Size: 8 AC Potential Features:

Picnic/event shelter

Trails

Playground

Multi‐purpose field

This park is located about 12‐miles east of Culpeper on Route 3. Other than a short entrance drive and paved turn‐around pad, the park is comprised of open fields and woodland. Key deficiencies needing attention:

Poor visibility from the road

No deceleration lane before turn


Improve vehicular approach sequence

Establish, design, and implement public park amenities

Gated entrance from Route 3

Paved area and field beyond

17

Lenn Park Pavilion Location: 18063 Stevensburg Road Size: 3800 SF Park Type: Event pavilion Features:

Covered picnic/event shelter

Indoor activity room

Kitchen

Restrooms

Utility/storage room

This pavilion is located within Lenn Park, adjacent to a gravel parking area, small seating plaza, amphitheater, and horse shoe pits. The pavilion includes a covered outdoor picnic shelter which is connected to an indoor activity room and kitchen by a wall of glass double doors. Both the indoor and outdoor spaces are in good condition and only display a few minor and easily fixable problems. The kitchen is rented out separately from the activity room and picnic shelter. Since the utility closet is only accessible through the kitchen, both spaces must be rented in order to access the utility closet (which includes cleaning supplies, hot water heater, etc.). There is no stove, oven, or dishwasher in the kitchen, which could be an issue for certain functions. The parking area and vehicular circulation is inadequate and confusing. Key deficiencies needing attention:

Utility room not accessible from main Activity Room

Kitchen lacks all amenities

Parking area too small and not well‐defined


Consider adding a second door to Utility Room or include kitchen access for all rentals

Consider adding a commercial grade stove, oven and/or dishwasher to kitchen

Redesign the vehicular circulation and parking area between the south park entrance and the event pavilion

Accessible walkway to pavilion

Community Room Location: 303 North Main Street Size: 1430 SF Park Type: Multi‐purpose space Features:

Multi‐purpose room

Kitchen

Storage room

Restroom

The Culpeper Community Room is used by the Parks and Recreation Department for athletic classes, art classes, daycare, and animal training classes. There are several minor condition issues, but the most prominent issue is the lack of ADA accessibility to the space. The room is only accessed by a flight of stairs. The kitchen area is used primarily for clean‐up during art classes and daycare. The storage room is adequate for general use, but art supplies are stored offsite since the storage room doesn’t have space for these items. The walls have some cosmetic issues and the floor is uneven in some areas. The HVAC system is not adequate for the cooling demands during the hot months. The lights are not ideal for this space since the ceilings are low and the lights have no safety covers on them (jumping rope under a light can be hazardous). The parking area is located across the street and while it is adequate, it is not convenient. The door to this space is non‐descript and is difficult to locate, especially from a vehicle. The emergency egress staircase in the rear of the building has some rotting boards. Key deficiencies needing attention:

No ADA accessibility

Lack of street presence

Warped floor

Incompatible light fixtures

Inconvenient parking and arrival process


Consider relocating all activities to an ADA accessible facility

Repaint door to match County park signs and add a larger sign

Replace lights, HVAC system, and rear staircase

Main room

Entry stairs

Front door

Kitchen area

Schools There are 10 public schhols in Culpeper County and all of them have amenities that are used by the public or by youth sports leagues. While competition fields, comfort stations, concession buildings, and most indoor facilities are for school use only, the majority of practice fields, playgrounds, hard courts, and multi‐purpose rooms are available for non‐school use when school is not in session. Outdoor Facilities A.G. Richardson Elementary School The multi‐purpose field and baseball backstop are occasionally used by the public but are not ADA accessible. The playgrounds are also occasionally used. Emerald Hill Elementary School The Culpeper Youth Soccer Association (CYSA) uses the three multi‐purpose fields on a regular basis. There are two portable comfort stations adjacent to the fields, as well as one set of bleachers, a playground, and a basketball court. Farmington Elementary School There is one multi‐purpose field which gets used mostly by neighborhood kids on evenings and weekends. It is the only public field in the school system that appears to be in need of repair and turf rejuvenation. Pearl Sample Elementary School There is a multi‐purpose field and a few playgrounds, all of which are occasionally used by the public. Sycamore Park Elementary School The playground at this school is one of the most frequently used school playgrounds on evenings and weekends. The two basketball courts are also frequently used. Yowell Elementary School The newest elementary school in the system, Yowell has a multi‐purpose field and two playgrounds that rarely get used outside of school hours. Culpeper Middle School There is a multi‐purpose field that is primarily used for school gym classes that also gets occasional evening and weekend use. Floyd T. Binns Middle School There is a multi‐purpose field that is primarily used for school gym classes that also gets occasional evening and weekend use. Culpeper County High School There are three practice fields and six tennis courts that are open to the public and receive frequent use. Eastern View High School Because of its proximity to the Culpeper Sports Complex, very few of the High School fields are used by the public. The six tennis courts are used often though.

Indoor Facilities A.G. Richardson Elementary School Emerald Hill Elementary School Farmington Elementary School Pearl Sample Elementary School Sycamore Park Elementary School These schools all have indoor multi‐purpose rooms that are used by the Culpeper Youth Basketball (CYB) league for practices. Most of the multi‐purpose rooms have rubber flooring, except for Emerald Hill, which has hardwood. Yowell Elementary School The multi‐purpose room at the school is used for adult basketball as well as CYB. Culpeper Middle School With the largest gym in the County, CMS is used for indoor soccer as well as a competition gym for CYB. There are two upper‐level auxiliary gyms which are located behind the upper bleachers. These two spaces are only accessible by elevator if the whole school building is open. Floyd T. Binns Middle School The gym at this school is used by CYB for competitions. It is also used by County Parks and Recreation for summer programs. Culpeper County High School Eastern View High School The gyms at these two schools are used for school purposes. Outside groups may contact the school to request use of these spaces.

Conclusions

OVERALL PARK CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS County‐wide, there are common themes to condition issues with the parks and facilities. These themes are

erosion, ADA access, and damage to structures, drainage, signage, unsecure electrical infrastructure and

obsolescence. It is recommended that the County of Culpeper create a set of design standards for repair and

improvements, so that the parks may be developed consistently and efficiently. It is recommended that the

County take a phased approach to repairs and refurbishment, addressing issues of safety and code‐deficiency

immediately, and then proceeding to address more systemic issues related to deferred maintenance and

obsolescence.

In order of priority, the order of repairs and improvements in the parks should be as follows:

1. Safety: tripping hazards, broken railings, standing water, broken play equipment, surfacing.

2. Code: ADA, ingress/egress, lighting, fire

3. Deferred Maintenance: paint, equipment repairs, etc.

4. Obsolescence/Replacements: obsolete non‐standard/ non code compliant amenities, features, etc.

5. Park Improvements: additions which address programs, address current needs, add value etc.

COUNTY PARK DESIGN STANDARDS MANUAL Developing a County‐wide design standard for park repair and refurbishment will ensure that all work is done

consistently and to code throughout Culpeper. This manual will be applied to repairs in existing parks, as well

as the development of new parks. The design manual is recommended to particularly address, signage,

furnishings, trash receptacles, comfort stations, pavilions, storm water, building architecture, playground

design, ADA access etc. The intent of the design manual will be to ensure consistency in all parks so that

moving forward a Culpeper park facility will be easily recognizable, will leave a good impression on the visitor,

and will instill a sense of community pride.

The County of Culpeper must also ensure that all repairs and redevelopment are in compliance with the

recommendations of the Culpeper Soil and Water Conservation District. A local Storm Water Program

Specialist should be coordinated with closely in order to identify opportunities, best practices, and low

impact options. This aspect gives the Parks and Recreation Department the opportunity to exemplify best

practices while also addressing an important element of conservation with in the NRPA Three Pillars.
