In the spring of 2007, Pierce County Parks & Recreation Services began updating its Park, Recreation & Open Space Plan to identify opportunities to enhance the County's extensive park and recreation system.
This Plan creates a vision for an innovative, inclusive, and interconnected system of parks, recreation facilities, programs, and services that promotes recreation, health, and environmental conservation as integral elements of a livable community. It addresses the recreation needs of residents Countywide, while reflecting diverse community priorities within Pierce County.
As an update to the 2002 Park, Recreation & Open Space Plan, this Plan establishes specific goals, objectives, recommendations, and actions for developing, conserving,
and maintaining quality parks, trails, facilities, and open space. In addition, the Plan recommends a strategy for the implementation of capital and non-capital projects that will
most benefit the community.
