This District is designed to reflect the belief that the quality of the environment is contingent upon the preservation of park space within the Village for the benefit of the citizenry as a whole. In some cases, these areas may have unique topographic features or natural amenities such as forests, lakes, or natural waterways, which are conducive to recreational uses. In other cases, these amenities are man-made and accommodate publicly owned civic, cultural, or governmental uses.
