Parks and Recreation

Park, Recreation & Open Space Plan

Trail, Bikeway & Paths Master Plan

This comprehensive planning document addresses a 20-year vision for development of recreational trails and non-motorized transportation facilities within the city. The dual focus on recreational trails and public right-of-way non-motorized facilities is an intentional effort to create a well-integrated system for pedestrians, bicyclists, equestrians, and other trail users in the city.
