Parks & Recreation System Masterplan Update
The City started the Parks and Recreation System Master Planning process in June
2018. Since that time, HKGI Inc. has completed Task 1 (Review Past Planning), and
Task 2 (Community Engagement). Once the Community Engagement portion was
complete, the City Council directed staff to have HKGI provide an plan update at a joint
meeting of the City Council and Parks & Recreation Commission.
Staff from HKGI will be reviewing an update of the master plan and will also be looking
for feedback on certain aspects of the plan.
