Planning Commission to Review Parks & Recreation Master Plan on May 9

On Wednesday, May 9, at 6 pm, the City of Wilsonville’s Planning Commission will hold a public hearing to evaluate the Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update (Case File # LP18-0003) and consider whether to recommend adoption of the amendment to the City Council.

The Parks and Recreation Master Plan provides a community-driven vision and long-range guide for Wilsonville’s parks, facilities and community programs.  This update to the 2007 Parks and Recreation Master Plan addresses deficiencies, amends goals, and identifies needs for future park development, recreational services, trails, and open space preservation.  Additionally, it prioritizes short-term and long-term needs and provides approximate costs of improvements and additions.  

Development of this plan was a collaboration between City staff and GreenPlay, LLC, a national consulting firm that specializes in facilitating, researching and developing master plans for park and recreation providers.

The plan is informed by extensive community engagement with residents, business owners, and other stakeholders of all ages, including several public meetings, an online survey, stakeholder interviews, small focus group discussions and the scheduled meeting with the Planning Commission.
Wilsonville City Council will hold a public hearing on Monday, June 4, at 7 pm to consider adoption of the plan.
