The Park District’s Park, Recreation, and Open Space Plan is a long-term planning document updated every six years in collaboration with the community. It outlines the current system of parks, facilities, and programs while guiding the ongoing evaluation of community needs and interests.
In 2025, the community will work together to update the plan and secure state approval by February 2026. Led by the expert consultant team Framework, the process will focus on new strategies to achieve desired outcomes. The updated plan will help shape annual budgets, service levels, and improvement projects by providing clear direction and priorities for the Park District.
The Park District will share more information about the process as we proceed. You can see the results from our 2020 Comprehensive Plan here.
