Phoenix Parks and Recreation Launches Master Plan Program

​The City of Phoenix Parks and Recreation Department is excited to announce the launch of our master plan process, which will guide the future development and management of our City's parks and recreation facilities. This comprehensive plan will set the standard for years to come and ensure that our community's green spaces continue to thrive.

One of the key components of this master plan process is public engagement. We recognize that our parks and recreation facilities are vital to the health and well-being of our community, and we want to hear from you! We are committed to gathering meaningful feedback from residents, stakeholders, and park users throughout this process.

Community input will be crucial in shaping the priorities and goals for our parks system. We encourage everyone to visit parksmasterplanphx.com to learn more about how they can get involved in this important process. From surveys and public meetings to interactive workshops, there will be multiple opportunities for community members to share their thoughts on what they want to see in their neighborhood parks.

In addition to public engagement, this master plan process will also focus on important issues such as water use and public safety through Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED). By incorporating sustainable practices into park design and implementing CPTED principles, we are committed to creating safe, welcoming spaces for all members of our community.

"Our parks and recreation facilities touch every person in our community, providing spaces for connection, recreation, and tranquility," Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego said. "Launching our master plan is a crucial step in ensuring that these amenities remain active, cared for, and accessible for future generations. We are committed to creating a plan and a vision that reflects the needs and hopes of all Phoenix residents."

"Our goal is not only to create a beautiful park system but also one that meets the needs and desires of our diverse community" Parks and Recreation Director Cynthia Aguilar said. "Meaningful feedback from residents is crucial in achieving this goal."

The Phoenix Parks and Recreation Department is dedicated to providing exceptional parks and recreation facilities for all residents to enjoy. We look forward to working together with the community to create a master plan that reflects the needs and wants of our City.
