12. The City should explore ways to extend its outreach of youth-oriented programs and activities using a community hub and local community development model. Potential partnerships include the Windsor-Essex Catholic District School Board and Greater Essex County District School Board to gain access to selected schools (potentially aligned with any agreement that is secured per Recommendation #3), the YMCA of Southwestern Ontario, faith-based institutions/places of worship, and other local youth-based service providers.

13. Convert an existing sports field and/or amenity space to a lit outdoor artificial turf field. The field should be designed in a manner that allows the City to house an air-supported structure (bubble) in the event a third-party partnership opportunity arises the future.	Medium	Medium-Term	No
14. Examine and work with Asset Management staff to come up with level of service standards for the design and maintenance of each classification of rectangular field and ball diamond, and communicate these standards to field sport organizations.	Medium	Short-Term	No
15. The City should work with rectangular field and ball diamond users to prioritize locations for sports field improvements, as well as determine which fields can be consolidated in order to fund such improvements elsewhere through the reallocation of ongoing capital and maintenance costs.	Medium	Ongoing	To be determined
16. Initiate analysis of all park sites containing at least one ball diamond to determine candidates that are ideal for conversion to adult-size facilities, as well as candidates that are ideal for replacement and relocation to an existing or prospective multi-diamond park. At a minimum, consideration should be given to the ability to enlarge infields and outfields, the potential to add lighting, property setbacks, and other functional areas. This process should be supported by consultation with the community and ball diamond users.	Medium	Short-Term	To be determined
17. Construct two adult-size ball diamonds (suitably sized for fastball or hardball, depending on registration rates and ball trends), preferably within one park, located east of Walker Road and south of the airport lands (Ward 9). The development of two new diamonds should be offset by removing two undersized/underutilized diamonds from the existing supply.	High	Short to Medium-Term	Yes
18. Construct a full-size cricket pitch after engaging the local cricket-playing community to discuss location and design specifications.	Medium	Short-Term	Yes
