Values related to leisure and recreation are <br />unique to each municipality; therefore, the standards should <br />represent the interests and desires of local parks users. <br />The suggested standards from the National Recreation and <br />Parks Association (NRPA), as modified for La Porte's unique <br />conditions, are illustrated in Table, 234, NRPA Development <br />Standards.
