Parks Plan

 
There is a Parks, Recreation and Community Services Plan (PDF) which identifies park issues and approaches to meet the need.  The City Council adopted the plan in October 2005, the Plan provides policies for developing and maintaining the park system, and financing of improvements.   More specifically the plan identifies and evaluates the existing system, assesses the need for additional park land, open space and specialized facilities, establishes criteria and standards for site selection, design, and management of the various areas.
