Parks and Recreation Planning

Parks and recreation planning is a vital part of land use planning that focuses on creating and maintaining parks, recreational areas, and public spaces. It aims to enhance community well-being, promote outdoor activities, and protect natural resources. Planners assess community needs, evaluate existing facilities, and identify opportunities for new parks or upgrades. This process ensures accessible, diverse recreational options for residents, contributing to a better quality of life, encouraging physical activity, and fostering social connections. Ultimately, effective parks and recreation planning helps create healthier, more vibrant communities.
