Park Improvements
Imagine Your Parks 3 - Phases of Design & Construction
Imagine Your Parks 3 looks ahead to the next 10 years of parks, greenways, programs, and operations, with an overarching focus on equity. By examining access barriers, mapping areas of need, listening to community feedback, and analyzing future trends, IYP3 identifies strategies to improve equitable access to BREC’s exceptional parks. IYP3 also includes a 3-year strategic plan that highlights key short-term priorities. Capital improvement projects include engagement, planning, design, permitting, and construction for parks, recreation facilities, greenways, and system-wide capital needs.
A transition period will begin while several IYP2 capital improvement projects are under construction and IYP3 planning proceeds.
