Pinetop-Lakeside has established a voluntary citizen Open Space Committee and charged them with identifying open spaces for preservation within the town boundary. The Committee pinponted ten such spaces and rated them across twelve categories such as size, risk of loss, wildlife value, etc. A final point score was then tallied for each space, which is reflected in the map below. The parcel with a score of 7, while still important to preserve, is considered the lowest priority of the inventory. The highest priority parcel, located in the meadow area south of Charlie Clarks, has a score of 25.

By this rating system, the Woodland Lake Park Tract is considered the third most important open space to protect.
