The firm selected will develop a comprehensive Parks and Recreation Master Plan that will guide the Department for the future development, management and operations of the City’s parks system. This consultant will coordinate public input, provide a statistically valid survey of community opinions and needs, examine existing programs, analyze data collected by City staff in a comprehensive inventory, forecast program development needs, review and recommend policies and standards, create a clear set of goals and implementation strategies, provide project oversight and document preparation.
