Upcoming Community Events

Community participation is an important part of this park master planning process. Upcoming events will provide opportunities for residents, park users, and stakeholders to learn about the project, share ideas, and help shape the future of these parks. Check this page regularly for any updates on public meetings, open houses, and other engagement opportunities.

The five parks have been divided into two groups, Group A and Group B, with each group having designated public engagement events where attendees can provide feedback on the parks within that group. Events listed for both groups indicate opportunities for the public to provide input on all five parks. Events highlighted in blue have already taken place. See below for the full list of events.
