The park district is intended to provide for areas where the open space and recreational needs, both public and private, of the citizens of the Village of Brown Deer can be met without undue disturbance of natural resources and adjacent uses.

The park district is intended to prevent the destruction of valuable natural resources, such as woodlands, wetlands, wildlife habitat areas, perennial and intermittent streams, lakes, floodlands, shorelands, significant water recharge and discharge areas, prairies, recreational and scenic areas, natural scientific areas, areas with poor soils high groundwater, and areas of steep topography. The regulation of these areas, which include environmental corridors, should serve to control erosion and sedimentation, and to protect the natural resource base and promote and maintain the natural beauty.
