Parks & Recreation Master Plan

A long-range vision for our parks.

Park master plans provide the public a way to help determine the best uses for a specific site and to optimize management of the site's resources. The Parks Commission uses public input combined with analyses of current trends and future needs identified in the National Recreation and Parks Association guide to help craft a long-range blueprint for use of a park site. The plan serves as a long-range vision for future and current development and programming of park assets. Issues typically addressed include planned park elements, natural and cultural resource management, and general design concerns.
