This park will be achieved on the existing privately owned green space situated at the northeast edge of Crystal Drive . The balance of the park could be programmed for public active and passive recreation.” (pg. 34) ▪ Section 3.7.1. – Overview: “…As Crystal City grows, emphasis will be placed on creating public open spaces that are universally accessible and have strong presence along the street, and are clearly distinct from private open spaces …As the Master Plan is implemented, the design of the proposed open spaces will be further refined with continued planning and management efforts to better define their program and fully explore their potential.” (pg. 74) 8
