end
STRATEGIC OUTCOME:
Approval of this 2024 Parks, Arts, Recreation, and Trails Master Plan aligns with City Council’s Safe and Prosperous, Active and Appealing, Respected and Responsible, and Connected and Engaged strategic outcomes as the Master Plan provides a planning and development guide for the Parks and Recreation Department during the next 10 years.
REPORT:
On August 2, 2023, the City engaged the services of Conservation Technix to produce a Parks, Arts, Recreation, and Trails (PART) Master Plan. This work has now been completed, the Master Plan has been published on the City website since July 3, 2024, and the plan is ready for adoption.
The Parks, Arts, Recreation, and Trails Master Plan is designed to be a functional guide for Yuma’s Parks and Recreation Department and serves as the strategic plan for the planning period of 2024 to 2035. The Master Plan creates a vision for an innovative, inclusive, and interconnected system of parks, trails, and open space that promotes recreation, health, environmental conservation, and fiscal responsibility as integral elements of a thriving, livable Yuma.
The Plan serves as a blueprint for the management, enhancement, and growth of Yuma’s park and recreation system. The Plan will assist in guiding decisions related to planning, developing, and maintaining parks, open space, and recreational facilities and identifies priorities for recreation programs, community events, cultural activities and facilities.
The 2024 PART Master Plan provides updated system inventories, community profile, needs analysis, and a comprehensive capital project list. The Master Plan identifies parks and recreation long-range goals including action items and strategies for implementation. The recommendations in this Plan are based on community input, evaluations of the existing park system, evaluations and recommendations for recreation programming base, operating conditions, and fiscal considerations.
This 2024 PART Master Plan reflects the current community priorities and will guide the Department’s decision making and investments over the next ten years or more. The result will be a park and recreation system that expands access for all, builds strong communities, innovates for the future, and protects the natural environment in Yuma.
On April 16, 2024, the Park Commission unanimously endorsed the plan and recommends City Council approval.
