PARK MASTER PLAN
Since the last Parks Master Plan was adopted in 1998, the community's demographics, values and interests have continued to evolve while infrastructure has aged significantly. Although the City has made substantial efforts to maintain an effective level of functionality in its parks facilities and programs, the physical and communal changes have required additional planning and
resources. In 2017, City Council redirected staff to develop a new Parks Master Plan as a Work Plan, which could be completed in- house. This directive was formally implemented in 2018. The goal is for the document to serve as a working document that will guide both the Parks & Recreation Department and City leadership in the prioritization of parks amenities and facility capital improvements projects (CIPs).
