Project Information
Parks is initiating a planning process that will result in park development plans for the neighborhood and mini parks in the Southwest Area. The planning scope follows the boundary identified for the Planning Division's Southwest Area Plan. A list of the parks involved in the planning process is below. The planning process will result in a one page “park development plan” which will guide the improvements to the park for the next 10 to 12 years. The parks involved with this planning process are all fully developed and range in size from 0.1 acres to 15.13 acres. This planning process will provide transparency regarding our future plans for each park and allow park patrons to weigh in on existing and potential recreation opportunities. Additional public engagement will take place when the actual park improvement has been funded.
