Study Method
MVRPC hosted Open Space Workshops in Spring of 2006.
36 organizations participated.
Resulting data loaded into GIS.
Limitations
Database most comprehensive in the Region, but not 100% accurate
Data collected from secondary sources
Agricultural land not included in inventory
Findings and Summary
The Miami Valley Region Contains:2,268 open space facilities116,191.4 acres of open space, which accounts for 6% of the total Regional land area92.7 acres of open space per 1,000 residentsFour State Parks (Buck Creek, John Bryan, Sycamore, and Caesar Creek) encompassing 16,410 acres74,798 acres of Open Space/Recreational Facilities

ConclusionSuccessful Open Space and Recreational Facility preservation and acquisition should continue.
There is an inverse relationship between open space and agricultural land use.
Open Space land use must be understood in the context of the whole land use plan.
Open Space Planning is an investment in the quality of life of our Region’s communities.
