RE: October 27, 2020 Work Session Summary: Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update
All Council members were present via the virtual session.
The purpose of this item was to share the completed Parks and Recreation Master Plan and
seek feedback on next steps related to sustainable system funding. Over the last year, staff has
been working with a consultant team, stakeholders, and the community to thoroughly assess
our system of parks and recreation facilities in an iterative and engaging process. The result is
the Fort Collins Parks and Recreation Master Plan.
General Feedback:
Support for considering Master Plan adoption on December 15, 2020
Support for moving forward with assessment of specific funding solutions and
implementation strategies to be reviewed with Council in 2021.
Kudos to staff and consultant team and all engaged as part of this.
Love that in Fort Collins we are given permission to think big.
Responsible planning has served Fort Collins well; Master Plan continues the tradition.
Ensure Natural Areas are encouraged to maintain their distinct functions and identities.
Consider how different cultures use public space differently
Equity is more than access - bring it through from the analysis to the goals
Appreciate the intentional integration with other plans.
o The more our plans are linked and integrated, the more robust they become and
more likely they are to get built.
Financial analysis has many good ideas.
o Prepared to have this conversation in the future.
o Look to reduce O&M costs.
o Consider scalability of recommendations.
Next Steps
