Introduction
This document was developed with extensive input from various City Parks and Recreation staff. Its
goal is to establish a unique identity for the entire Virginia Beach park system, where individual park
components relate to each other as well as to the Citys park system as a whole. This manual covers a
wide range of park elements and systems, identifying specific types, materials, and installation
practices.
It is the Citys standard that all sites should be easily accessible to the public by all modes of
transportation: vehicular, bicycle, and pedestrian. Standards for ADA accessibility are incorporated
throughout this document. ADA accessibility should be accommodated at all sites to the fullest
extent practical.

Fence: A 4 high black vinyl coated chain link fence shall enclose
the dog park area.
Entry/Exit: Bull pen design, generally a 10x10 fenced area with
two gates. The bull pen area should be concrete or crushed stone.
The surface material should also extend out at the entry/exit points
in order to minimize the high use impacts on the area. All gates
shall be ADA accessible.
Lawn: Within the dog park the lawn shall be mowed, irrigated,
fertilized, aerated, and seeded on a regular basis. Where feasible,
the dog park area should rotate as needed between two areas
allowing lawn areas to recover.
Shade: Shade trees shall be located within the perimeter of the dog
park area. Canopy coverage should ultimately shade at least 1/3 of
the dog park area otherwise shade structures are required. When
tree canopy is not available structured shade for each fenced are
should be considered.

Design Principles
Description: Buildings located in parks include restroom facilities, park offices, storage buildings, etc. All
buildings located on a site should complement each other and the surrounding environment in scale, materials
and placement and always meet or exceed ADA compliance.
Building Orientation/Entry: Entrances should face or be clearly visible from an adjacent public street or
associated parking area. The primary entry shall be clearly identified by articulation of the building mass or
other architectural design solution. The main entry should be more visually dominant than service area entries.
Building Massing: When possible park offices, restroom facilities, and storage needs should be incorporated
into single buildings. The massing or three-dimensional form of larger buildings should be broken into smaller
components that more readily relate to the human scale.
Building Faade: The design of the building faade shall incorporate elements that help to break up long,
undifferentiated walls or sides. Buildings should also incorporate design features and architectural elements
that relate to the scale of pedestrians such as covered entryways. Split face block or hardy plank should be
used on all facades. (Tan or Gray in Color)
Roof Materials: Standing seam aluminum roof (Gray or Blue in color)
Building Types
Park Offices: Park offices should be conveniently located adjacent to the primary parking facility/entrance
drive and be heated and cooled.
Restrooms: Restroom facilities may be located within the park office
building or located strategically throughout the park. These buildings
should be heated.

Parking Lots
Parking Lots
Section Four
General Standards
Description: Parking lots should be designed to provide safe and convenient access to the site and its facilities. A
variety of paving options exist within the Virginia Beach park system. Parking requirements will vary from little to no
need for off-street parking at many neighborhood parks, to the need for large off-street parking lots at more active
community and district parks.
The design of parking lots should be in conformance with the following:
1. City of Virginia Beach Zoning Ordinance, most recent edition
2. AASHTO's policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets, most recent edition
3. Americans with Disabilities Act/State and Federal Handicap Standards
Low Impact Development (LID) Guidelines: Parking lots should incorporate methods for storm water management
utilizing LID techniques. These include:
End of island bioretention cell(s) with underdrain(s) and landscaping
Bioretention cells or drainage inlets (or curb cuts) in the end-of-island bioretention cells and bioretention strips to
collect runoff
Bioretention cells between lines of parking stalls to increase the total treatment surface area of these systems
One-way drive aisles to reduce impervious surfaces, where appropriate
Permeable paving systems where appropriate. Where it is not feasible for the entire parking lot, it should be
considered for portions of the parking lot such as overflow areas and/or parking stall areas.
Safety: Pedestrian movement in parked vehicle areas must be
planned to provide the highest degree of safety and convenience.
Plans for parking lots shall include pedestrian circulation
incorporating walkways, narrowed crossways, and striped paving.
Proposed landscaping should ensure the visibility and separation of
pedestrians from vehicular paths. Refer to the Americans with
Disabilities Act/State and Federal Handicap Standards.
Bicycle Accommodation:
Bicycle lanes and parking shall be
provided, where appropriate, on ingress and egress routes and
shall be consistent with standards identified and adopted by the
City. Refer to the citys Bikeways and Trails Plan for the location of
existing and proposed bicycle paths.

Design Principles
Description: Plantings within city parks should focus on creating a simple and natural design that blends with
the site and area rather than an elaborate and formal landscape solution. Plants should be located in random
groupings to reflect natural environments. Avoid linear plantings except where special circumstances warrant
that placement. The overall landscape plan should address conditions of the site such as controlling erosion,
filtering storm water, screening of unsightly elements, creating shade and softening the appearance of
structures. Avoid plantings that would restrict sight distance, require unusual maintenance, or interfere with
already established indigenous plantings.
Refer to the City of Virginia Beach, Landscape Guide or Integrated Site Design Guide, or most recent
edition, for parking lot, foundation, screening and buffering, specifications and standards.
2.
Refer to the American Nursery and Landscape Association, American Standard for Nursery Stock,
most recent edition, for various nursery stock standards.
Waterways:
A 20 minimum vegetative buffer should be
incorporated around all water edges. Pedestrian access to the
waters edge shall be limited to pre-determined areas. The
vegetative buffer can either be a planted area utilizing bayscaping
principles or an area where mowing is limited to two times a year at
a 6- 8 mow height. For waterways that are included in the
Chesapeake Bay Resource Protection area, a minimum of 50
vegetative buffer shall be provided.
Safety: Safety and security of park patrons shall be considered in
all plant selections and placement. Designers shall keep in mind the
principles of Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design.
Species Selection: The use of native and drought tolerant plant
materials is preferred. Species that produce litter problems should
be limited to naturalized areas. Refer to the Citys Landscaping
Guide or Integrated Site Design Guide for recommended plant
lists.

General Guidelines
Description: Signs are an important element in a park system. They identify, inform, regulate, protect, and
educate. The goal for these standards is to establish consistency throughout the Virginia Beach park system,
reduce the overall number of signs placed at park sites, and develop easily recognizable sign panels that
efficiently relay the necessary information. For the purposes of this document, signs have been broken out
into two main categories: informational signage and regulatory signage.
Informational signs include three sub-categories: entry or identification signage, way finding signage, and
educational signage.
Regulatory signs include two sub-categories: standard MUTCD Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices
signs, and site specific warnings and regulation signage.
Site Signage Plan: As new park sites are being developed, a site signage plan should be an integral part of
the sites development. The plan should identify the location and design of all site signage. Additionally,
developed sites that are becoming overrun with the addition of numerous signs over the years should evaluate
their signage, develop a site signage plan, and implement it as opportunities arise.
Multiple Signs: The placement of multiple signs on fences, trees, light poles, etc. should be avoided.
Landscaping: All entry or identification signage shall be planted as the base. A minimum of a 75 square foot
planting bed shall be utilized.

Entry Signage
Princess Anne Athletic Complex
Font Style: The utilization of both upper and lower case letters
increases the legibility of text and is standard for all signs.
Font Heights: Heights of the dominating text shall be either 5, or
6. In general, most neighborhood park signs will utilize 5 tall
letters and larger community and signature parks should utilize 610 tall letters depending on the surrounding environment and sign
placement. The size of all other graphic components will be based
off of the font size of the dominating text.
City Seal
Material: Seals can be manufactured in a variety of materials and
methods.
13-1
Color: The full color version should be utilized for all signs. On dark
backgrounds the seal should be outlined with a thin black line just
outside of the dolphin ring.
