  • During Phase 1 we asked for your ideas and feedback.
  • During Phase 2 we shared early concept directions and discussed what worked well and what could be improved. 
  • During Phase 3, we gathered feedback to help shape any necessary edits to the final plans.

    July - August 2021

    • In-person engagement events took place in each park during the month of July. The community was presented with several information boards and shared their thoughts with sticky notes and sticky dots.
    • An online questionnaire for each park was open for comments until August 13. We had over 350 participants complete online questionnaires

    Feedback from the in-person engagement events as well as the questionnaires will help provide insight while the draft Park Management Plans are being drafted. Review the presentation Council received to get a great overview of Phase 1. In October, we will begin reaching out for your feedback once again to gather your thoughts and feedback!
