• Regional facilities (pools, nature center, senior center, leased sites) are capitalized according to the Annual COG Formula.

NOTE: Starting in mid-1988, new parks were added for regional maintenance only if the site was 4 or more acres. Existing parks under 4 acres that were regionally-maintained were grandfathered.
