Our parks. Our centers. Our city. Our future!
Parks and recreation are powerful. They are essential infrastructure to all thriving communities, including ours.
We find ourselves amid an unprecedented groundswell of renewed support for parks, recreation, and public spaces, both in Henderson and across the nation. We believe in the power of our parks to transform our city, and that our parks, trails, and programs are more than just amenities.
They define us.
What is a parks master plan?
A parks and recreation system master plan is a guiding document that seeks to evaluate, analyze, and strategically plan the long-term development of a community’s parks and recreation system to ensure that it is meeting the identified goals and objectives of the Village, and is providing equitable, sufficient, and efficient services to its residents..
Why is it important (to me)?
Great parks and recreation systems don’t happen by accident; they require forward-looking yet actionable plans to guide their development, ensuring they deliver the maximum possible benefit to the community over time.
A well-designed and managed parks and recreation system serves as the framework for a community's overall quality of life and economic well-being.
What is the process?
The approach being utilized to develop this master plan is both collaborative and linear in nature, beginning with discovery and visioning at the macro-level, which will ultimately inform the site and program-specific recommendations at the micro-level.
We are working intentionally and diligently to build consensus amongst the project stakeholders and the community by incorporating multiple engagement points in each key phase of the project.
