Parks and Recreation Master Plan

In 2005, the City initiated a master planning process to serve as a broad-based strategic planning tool for the entire department to guide the future of the City of Ferguson park facilities and recreation programs over the next five to ten years. The completed plan will serve as a property and facilities planning tool and a management and programming planning tool directed to all levels of staff, City Council and Park Board. The implementation process will identify and integrate the benefits of properly planned properties, facilities, and programs that lead to the improvement of the quality of life within the City.

The plan was presented to the City Council and Park Board at a joint worksession last July. At the worksession the City Council decided to appoint a Parks and Recreation Master Plan Implementation Action Team made up of City Council, Park Board and staff. The Action Team met for three months and has presented their recommendations and findings to the City Council. The City Council is in the process of reviewing the report.
