RE: August 25, 2020 Work Session: Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update
All Council members were present.
The purpose of this item was to seek feedback on specific draft sections of the Parks and
Recreation Master Plan, including policy recommendations, classifications for parks and
recreational facilities, and levels of service.
The Master Plan update process began November 2019 and has included extensive system
analysis and community engagement. Based on prior Council direction, staff has been
working with a consultant team, stakeholders, and the community to identify parks and
recreation needs, assess how Fort Collins compares to other peer and benchmark
communities, and identify key issues and priorities the plan should address. Work to date
has culminated in the drafting of three key sections of the plan for review: Level of Service,
Classifications & Design Guidelines, and Policy Framework.
General Feedback:
Level of Service
Continue exploring how to leverage partnerships

Next Steps
