Juneau Parks and Recreation

Comprehensive Plan

July, 1996

Recreation Service Park

*Acreage will be reduced to approximately five acres upon construction of the Auke Recreation Area Bypass Road.

** Actual upland acreage. Total acreage including water is 69 acres.

Natural Area Parks

* Currently, softball, baseball, and soccer fields are not dedicated fields. They begin the season as baseball/softball fields and are then converted to soccer fields and at the end of the season as football practice fields.
