BACKGROUND AND CONTEXT*
The Town started the process to develop a new Parks and Recreation Comprehensive Master Plan in fall 2024. This two-year planning process, which engages community and receives public input, provides a foundation for understanding and responding to a community's parks and recreation needs. It involves strategically examining a community's vision, existing services, facilities, and resources and assessing future needs concerning parks, recreation, and open space. Council received an update on the Master Plan including the equitable engagement strategy on May 14, 2025. On January 30, 2026, Council received a high-level summary of the engagement phase of the Master Plan process. This presentation will provide an overview of the project process and share engagement highlights and key findings.
COMPLETE COMMUNITY CONNECTION
Open space, natural areas, greenways, recreation events, programs, and facilities are key elements of the Complete Community Strategy.
