Master Plan
2014 Update ProcessNovember 2012 – January 2014
Parks constitute a “Margin of Excellence” in the City. Cities with good parks have a high quality of life. Any city can do the ordinary things….the exceptional cities are those that make an extraordinary effort to develop their parks. Parks provide beauty and diversion – these are so necessary … almost priceless.
