Welcome to the City of Davis Parks & Recreation Facilities Master Plan Update website. This website will serve as an information resource for all interested citizens during the update process.
What is a Parks and Facilities Master plan?
A parks and facilities master plan is a strategic document that studies existing parks and facility assets, and identifies a planning blueprint to expand, improve and protect these assets for the future.
Why is the City of Davis doing a Master Plan update now?
Like all California communities, the City of Davis continues to evolve and change. All planned parks have been built. Not all planned facilities have been built. The Parks and General Services Department is embarking on the Master Plan update to ensure that it continues strengthening community image and providing excellent service to all Davis residents now and into the future.
What is the Master Plan process?
The Master Plan update is a year long process that involves collecting existing parks and population data, touring and evaluating the condition of Davis Parks and Facilities, and connecting the public to community interests and needs. The facility and program needs of the community will be assessed through a telephone survey, web survey and public events. The synthesis of this information will result in an update of relevant goals, policies, classifications and standards related to the delivery of parks and programs for the Davis community. The updated plan will allow the Department to continue providing the same quality of services and opportunities that Davis residents currently enjoy.
This update of the Parks and Facilities Master plan will be completed in 2011.
