These figures are based on state guidelines reproduced in Table 7-4 (not typed
here), and on an estimated Rockledge population of 20890 for the year 2000.
According to these figures no new active sports facilities are required for Rockledge citizens except one 9-hole golf course and 10 shuffleboard courts. But 4 linear miles each of bicycling and horseback riding trails are needed. Indeed, there is ample supply of tennis courts and basketball courts. According to these figures, baseball, soccer, and racquetball are adequately served, though perhaps not to universal convenience, with facilities also available outside of Rockledge.
Another table in appendix B of this ROSE, while using a different level of service standard, shows similar needs of new facilities.
