The purpose of the Open Land District, as supported by vision,
goals and objectives of the Village of Liverpool Comprehensive Plan
2025,[1] is to ensure the provision of open space and recreation
areas for residents and visitors. Recreational facilities and amenities
promote pedestrian activity and serve all age groups. Pedestrian gateways
link the residential and business districts with the open land district
and Onondaga Lake. All open land should be integrated into the surrounding
residential and business districts through the community's hanging
garden theme of lush vegetation and landscaping, ornamental lighting,
decorative banners, signage, and unified streetscape amenities providing
the Village with a unique identity as expressed in the Comprehensive
Plan.
