Public Meetings Coming Up!
The new Parks and Recreation System Plan Project is a 16-month comprehensive process that will shape the direction, development and delivery of the city's parks and recreation services over the next 20 years.
As a part of the process to update the Parks and Recreation System Plan, a series of public forums are being held in January. These meetings will focus on identifying the needs and priorities of the Parks and Recreation System. Times and locations are listed under the Events section.
Can't make the meeting or want to get involved now? Visit www.yourparksyourfuture.com a community engagement website, that allows you to submit your ideas, review documents, find meeting dates, take surveys, learn more about the process, and get involved with the System Plan update.
 Smartphone Greenway App
Now available for Android Phones
RGreenway, a smartphone application or "app" that incorporates the City's GIS greenway trail data to make exploring the trails easier, was released in September for iPhones and is now also available for Android phones.
The app, developed independently from the City, provides user location, trail connections, parking, and points of interest. Additional information, as well as a link to download the app can be found at RGreenway.com
