The City of Parkville, Missouri ("City") is seeking proposals from qualified firms to develop a comprehensive Parks and Recreation Master Plan. The selected consultant will work with ETC Institute to facilitate the public outreach efforts, develop conceptual elements based on the input received through public participation, and prepare recommendations for location, design, and features of park and recreation elements. This plan will serve as a long-term guiding document for the City's parks and recreation system. The goal of this master plan is to enhance the quality of life for Parkville residents and visitors by providing a well-planned, accessible, and sustainable parks and recreation system. The Parks Master Plan is intended to provide a road map for the utilization, development and expansion of Parkville's current and future park system. The primary goal of this project will be to re-examine community priorities for all parks and document a long-term strategy for park development that ensures the Parks Master Plan meets current and future needs of the community in all wards. Key areas of the Master Plan should include: Facilities and Amenities Programs and Services Organization Efficiency Finance This planning process will be a joint effort between the selected firm, ETC Institute, Parkville city staff, the Board of Aldermen, the Community Land and Recreation Board (CLARB) who will act as the Steering Committee, and city residents (via their survey participation and feedback). The proposed master planning effort entails the update of the existing Parks Master Plan to include projects completed since the 2016 plan, projects slated to be built in the next few years, projects currently on hold due to neighborhood feedback, and the study of potential park sites in western Parkville to serve those residents. Questions concerning this project should be addressed to Brittanie Propes, Parks and Recreation Director, City of Parkville, either by phone (816) 268-5020, or by e-mail at bpropes@parkvillemo.gov.
