The Parkland District regulations were developed
in recognition that a significant portion of the Borough's land area
is devoted to municipal and regional parklands, and recreation facilities.
The Parklands District is designed to encourage full utilization of
the Borough's recreational potential while protecting the natural
character of these lands and preserving them for future generations.
The Borough's parkland is characterized by two types of facilities,
municipal and a regional. Regulations for these two types of facilities
are noted below.

shall have the meanings indicated:
PARCEL

property of the same persons or controlled by a single entity.
