Capital Project Updates

Arts Park Fountain 2
Our community is undertaking key capital projects to enhance parks, recreational spaces, and outdoor facilities. These efforts aim to improve quality of life, promote healthy lifestyles, and strengthen community connections as our region grows.

Current projects include developing new park spaces, renovating existing areas, and enhancing walking and biking trails with better accessibility, seating, and clear signage. These improvements will encourage outdoor fitness and provide safe, connected routes for everyone.

Help shape the future of our parks! As part of our Parks Master Plan, these initiatives align with long-term goals to create vibrant, sustainable spaces that meet the needs of our growing population. Your input is vital in shaping the design, improvements, and amenities of local parks. We invite residents to share feedback through surveys and public meetings to help create parks that reflect the desires of our community. Take a few minutes to share your thoughts and make a difference in the spaces where we all enjoy spending time!
