What Is the Parks Master Plan?
The Town of Vienna Department Parks and Recreation is currently developing a Parks and Recreation Master Plan, Our Plan to Play, to create a shared vision for a safe, accessible, equitable, healthy, sustainable, and community-centered parks and recreation experience in Vienna.
Our Plan to Play will emphasize the strengths of our community, identify missing needs, and define a multi-year vision to guide the maintenance, operation, and future opportunities for the Town's parks, trails, and recreational facilities and programming.
Anticipated Timeline
The development of this plan is anticipated to take approximately 12 to 16 months.
Project Overview
A parks master plan is a strategic, comprehensive document that outlines the long-term vision, goals, and objectives for the development, enhancement, and management of parks, open spaces, and recreational facilities within a community. It serves as a roadmap for decision-making, resource allocation, and future development efforts to ensure that the community's recreational needs are met and that the parks system is sustainable and accessible for all residents.
A typical parks and recreation master plan includes the following:
- Engaging with the community to understand current and future recreational needs
- Establishing long-range vision and goals
- Developing strategies to address gaps between the current system and future vision
With your support, Our Plan to Play will achieve our mission of creating community through people, parks, and programs.
