The PROS Plan includes a six-year plan and 20-year vision for Auburn’s park system. It outlines goals and objectives, implementation strategies, capital improvements, and investment programs for the City’s parks, recreation and open space system. The Plan also will provide guidelines and direction for the City in terms of acquiring, developing and preserving property, accepting property donations, and identifying potential funding sources and other actions enabling the City to respond to opportunities in a timely fashion. The Plan will identify the action steps needed in our park and recreation systems to ensure that these systems are an integral part of the City’s economic development strategy. The last plan was updated in 2015.

The City of Auburn is embarking on its periodic update of the Comprehensive Plan – Imagine Auburn – required to be adopted in 2024. This is a citywide effort involving subjects such as Parks and Open Space, Land Use, Housing, Transportation, Climate Change, and Utilities. The Plan update will provide a general vision for the future of the community and a roadmap for the next twenty years. It outlines what the community wants to look like moving forward towards 2044, and how to make that collective vision a reality. The Plan also addresses growth requirements provided by local, regional, and state agencies.
