Step 1: Planning

In 2022, community feedback was collected to develop a road-map through the Parks Master Plan (PMP) to address access and equity. Feedback continues to be gathered from residents through workshops and surveys. Park improvements are prioritized based on advocacy, feasibility, and impact. Bringing a potential project to life then involves exploration and pursuance of diverse funding sources.

Step 3: Contruction

Step 2: Design
