Close to Target
Access to Parks and Facilities
Parks & Recreation

Metric Definition

The percent of the population within one mile of a City-owned Park or Recreational Facility.

Target Definition

The "Target" is 100%; "Close to Target" is 85% or greater; anything less "Needs Improvement."

Organizational Effect

The City constructed the Bryan Multi-Sports Complex in 2018.  This recreational facility was updated in 2021 with the addition of a splash pad and picnic shelter.  In addition, the City has expressed its intention to build a new Herman Park Center in the future.  According to the UNC School of Government, the City of Goldsboro has the most pools, athletic fields, and playgrounds per 10,000 population.

Target Data

The Parks and Recreation Department defines the targets and tracks this data annually.

Significance

The City's residents and visitors may face challenges in living a healthy lifestyle without affordable access to parks and facilities that provide physical activity. We are still in need of a City park or facility in District 6 (15% of the population).
