Sports Complex) There are other facilities that are reserved to the provider (the six
tennis courts at Durango H.S.) but are available to the public when not used by the
school. There are also several that are "available" but facilities whose physical
condition renders them unsuitable for City recreation programs.
To reflect these varying conditions in the following sections, levels -of- service are
calculated for:
a) facilities that are generally, reliably available for City recreation
programs through an existing use agreement, or if the facility is on
City Property (City- controlled LOS), and
b) all facilities generally available to the public and in a serviceable
condition (Total LOS).
City- controlled LOS is used for calculating future facility needs primarily due to
reliable use for City recreation programs and the ability of the City to maintain or
upgrade the facility over time. Although total LOS facilities are generally
available for public use, there is no obligation on the part of the City to repair or
replace these facilities if the property owner changes the use. Therefore, using City
- controlled LOS will provide a more accurate reflection of future expenditures of
maintaining a specified LOS than would be using total LOS.

Durango's City- maintained fields are used not only by City- sponsored recreation
programs but also by programs sponsored by other civic groups. For example,
Youth Baseball of La Plata County — which draws in players from areas outside of
the City — actually fields more teams than the City's youth baseball program, on
the City's baseball fields. Similarly, the Durango Youth Soccer Association fields
a large number of teams that also use the City's soccer facilities.
