It has been blessed with spectacular natural settings, temperate climate, central location on the Eastern Seaboard and is well-positioned at the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. There are miles and miles of interior scenic waterways and thousands of acres of green space available for our residents and visitors of all ages to enjoy. In short, Mother Nature has provided a special environment and it is our responsibility to be its stewards and provide access for present and future generations. To date, various organizations including the City have done their share to provide public green space in Virginia Beach. The City owns over 6,050 acres of open space, parkland property, and public beaches that are available for a variety of outdoor recreational uses. School parks, which include one-half of elementary school sites, total over 400 acres of additional recreational land and assets that are generally available to residents on weekday afternoons, weekends and summer months. There are 255 playgrounds; 131 ball fields (non-leased); 66 multi- purpose fields (non-leased); 236 basketball courts; 161 tennis courts; two skate parks; two dog parks; 170 picnic pavilions; and four major beach-use facilities to enjoy on the City and School-owned open space. In addition, Federal and state park, natural area preserve, and wildlife refuge properties account for over 15,200 acres of the City that are also preserved. There are 19 water access sites throughout the entire City for the public to gain entrance to the City’s intricate network of blue ways that meander in and out of these City, state and federal parklands. While homeowners association property may not be available to all residents they do account for 1,320 acres of common area that is available to participating residential neighborhoods. All totaled, nearly 23,000 acres of Virginia Beach is set aside as open space for preservation or some outdoor recreational purpose. The Virginia Beach Outdoors Plan (herein “the Plan”), the City’s guidance document for open space acquisition and outdoor recreational planning, has helped set the framework for an outdoor recreational system of parks and athletic facilities; cultural and natural areas; public access to greenways, beaches and scenic waterways; and trail linkages for all kinds of users. The recommendations from the original 1994 Plan and its 2000 Update as well as the efforts of many other generations have created the extraordinary outdoor recreational network of land and facilities previously mentioned. However, there is still more work to be done. The existing outdoor recreational network needs to be properly managed and maintained and planning and action items need to be identified for the benefit of future generations. This 2008 version of the Plan is action-oriented and utilizes a cross-section of community priorities, statistical analysis and now equity mapping as a practical formula for developing its recommendations. The Plan is an integral part of Facility and Public Space Planning component of the Department of Parks and Recreation Strategic Plan. It seeks to build upon the successful implementation of its former iterations and progress even further in its outdoor recreational planning and analysis through the following: • Reclassification of park system designations consistent with localities of similar size and characteristics • Statistical Needs Analysis of City parks and recreation real estate assets and amenities based on updated service standards applied against both the 2000 census population and 2026 theoretical build-out project population • Updated inventory of all City-owned parks and recreation real estate assets • Updated inventory of all state, federal, and homeowners association parks and recreation-related real estate assets located within Virginia Beach • Geographic Information System-based Equity Mapping as part of a planning process for providing equitable physical access to the City’s parks system to all residents iv Executive Summary • Design Standards for outdoor recreational courts, fields, furniture, fixtures and related improvements • Capacity-Demand Standards Model ™ for programming analysis of City-wide athletic field usage versus field capacity • Qualitative and Quantitative Public Participation Process • Recommendations for future strategic open space site acquisitions • Recommendations for future outdoor recreational improvements with regard to preservation and access to Cultural and Natural Areas, Greenways, Beaches and Scenic Waterways; renovations to existing and construction of new Parks and Athletic Facilities; and coordination with the City’s Bikeways and Trails Plan to provide connectivity to community resources through Trails. • Implementation strategies and cost estimates as a basis for the Department of Parks and Recreation’s Capital Improvement Program with respect to the Open Space Acquisition Program and future outdoor recreational renovations and improvements The Plan will detail the recommendations relating to future open space acquisitions as well as plans for future outdoor recreational assets that have been identified to meet the projected need and stated desires of Virginia Beach residents by 2026. Those recommendations and their associated costs are summarized in the table below. It is important to note that the Plan provides for a fiscally-responsible funding strategy which relies upon existing and conservatively-projected revenue to accomplish recommendations.

DENDROCHRONOLOGY: A STATUS REPORT FOR THE EASTERN UNITED STATES A Thesis Presented to the Graduate Schools of Clemson University and College of Charleston In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements of the Degree Master of Science Historic Preservation by Elyse Harvey May 2012 Accepted by: Carter L. Hudgins, Ph. D., Committee Chair Richard Marks Frances H. Ford Ralph Muldrow ABSTRACT Architectural historians and historic preservation practitioners have turned with increasing frequency to dendrochronology to determine dates of construction for houses and other timber structures for which the application of traditional dating techniques, chief among them historical documentation and stylistic analysis, failed. Since the advent of modern, statistically-driven tree-ring dating, analysis of the application of dendrochronology on the eastern region of the United States reveals that the use of this scientific technique has been unevenly applied and is most often used in New England and the Chesapeake. While the techniques used by American dendrochronologists are generally similar, practitioners have failed to adopt a consistent methodology.
