Parks Master Plan process
Phase 1: Parks evaluation
This phase involves looking closely at everything as it is right now.
Key steps that will occur as part of this process include:
- Conducting a complete inventory of parks, facilities, recreation trails
- Determining the amount of open space we currently have.
- Conducting an inventory of current and pre-COVID programming
- Examining our General and Landscape Maintenance operations
- Conducting stakeholder interviews to get their initial thoughts and vision
Phase 2: Community needs
This phase involve reaching out to City residents and park users for input!
Key steps that will occur as part of this process include:
- Conducting a city-wide survey
- You can take this survey online, or fill out a paper survey.
- This survey will be available in many ways, such as the city website, water bill inserts, pop-events, virtual outreach meetings and at our community centers.
- Holding Virtual Outreach meetings and Pop-Up events
- Dates will be announced on the city website and via social media.
- Identify Needs based on community input.
Phase 3: Priority projects
This phase will put together the information collected from Phases 1 and 2.
Key results that will occur as part of this process include:
- Development of new system-wide policies
- Operational recommendations
- Identification of site-specific recommendations
- Prioritization of projects.
Phase 4: Plan adoption
