  • Chapter 8 PARKS, RECREATION, and OPEN SPACE
    COMPRLHE\JSIVI·: DtVLLOPME"\: I Pl.:\N \.' Chapter 8 PARKS, RECREATION, AND OPEN SPACE The City's resident surveys and public workshops show that Newark residents place a high value on the City's parks and open space in enhancing the attractiveness of neighborhoods, and the City's recreation programs as an essential service. Parks, recreation programs, and open space provide a diverse and quantifiable range of benefits that inuneasurably improve our quality of life, and embodies Newark's visions of a Healthy, Sustainable, and Inclusive conununity. Healthy Commu11ity: Parks, recreation, and open space provide residents and visitors with both active and passive recreational opportunities to have a healthy lifestyle to fight obesity and prevent chronic conditions that lead to coronary disease, high blood pressure, and diabetes. Strong evidence shows that people are more likely to exercise if they are in close proximity to a park. According to GIS analysis from the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC), most Newark residents live within a five-minute walk of a park. Environme11tal Sustainability: Newark's parks and open space keep our living surroundings healthy and provide essential green space in a developed community. They serve as groundwater recharge areas, floodplain protection, natural sound barriers, and storm water protection from wetlands. Abundant trees and vegetation reduces the "heat island effect" and carbon emissions in the air. Fwthermore, the network of parks in om city, as well as in New Castle County and the region, provide an important wildlife habitat to protect numerous indigenous and migratory wildlife ) species, as well as creating enjoyment and educational opportunities for people to observe and coexist with wildlife.

  • OFR9 Geologic Field Trips in Delaware
    STATE OF DELAWARE UNIVERSITY OF DELAWARE DELAWARE GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OPEN FILE REPORT No. 9 GEOLOGIC FIELD TRIPS IN DELAWARE BY R. N. BENSON W. F. HAHN R. R. JORDAN T. E. PICKETT J. H. TALLEY A. M. THOMPSON K. D. WOODRUFF NE\1AR K, DELAWARE MAY, 1977 FOREWORD The information contained in this Guidebook was compiled on the occasion of the Annual Meeting of the Association of American State Geologists held in Delaware in June 1977. The Delaware Geological Survey is pleased to have been selected to host this national meeting. The field trip logs'were designed to familiarize geologists from across the united States with basic features of Delaware's geology and resources. We have also sought to identify some points of historical and cultural interest that may help the visitor become familiar with our State. Experience has shown that field guides retain their use­ fulness beyond the event that they initially served. They may assist classes, other groups, and individuals seeking additional information about their physical environment. Therefore, this Guidebook has been published as an Open File Report for public distribution. All users of this information are urged to exercise caution, especially at rock faceS and along waterways, and to obtain specific permission for visits from landowners where necessary. It is hoped that Delawareans may find these trips educa­ tional and that visitors will feel welcome and come to share our pride in the First State. Robert R. Jordan State Geologist 1 CONTENTS Page Foreword 1 Geology and water resources of the western portion of the Delaware Piedmont 5 Environmental geology, northern Delaware.

  • Frequent Questions About the NDHC
    Frequent Questions about the NDHC Who is the Northern Delaware Heritage Coalition? The Northern Delaware Heritage Coalition represents a broad spectrum of grassroots participants from more that 50 heritage, historic preservation, greenway, transportation, tourism, and local government agencies and organizations. What is the Northern Delaware Heritage Network Concept Plan? The Plan proposes a network of transit, cycling, walking and driving routes that link historic sites, cultural ameni- ties, parks and other community resources in five “heritage areas” in northern New Castle County, and a network of interpretive and educational connections between the resources based on theme, topic or category. This proposed Heritage Network is not yet complete, but the basis for it does exist. Proposed routes use existing greenways, bikeways and transit routes that access heritage resources and also planned connections defined in the New Castle County Greenway Plan and in the DelDOT Bicycle Plan. Proposed interpretive and educational materi- als have been partially developed but may need to be repackaged to illustrate the connections between the sites in northern Delaware. Through work with state and local agencies on key physical improvements and coordinated cross-marketing, the Northern Delaware Heritage Network could become a reality. How does the Coalition define the word “heritage”? The Coalition uses the term “heritage” in the broadest possible way, that is the collection of resources that a com- munity values. • What are those resources? The resources that the communities of northern Delaware value are its parks and natural areas, historic sites, cultural attractions, special festivals and events and the vibrant communities and neighborhoods that are special places to live.
