Throughout the history of the park system, community involvement in decision-making has successfully enhanced the City's parks and recreational facilities, programs, and services.
The MPRB is working to develop a new public participation and engagement policy to revise current standards and provide consistent practices for working and communicating with the public. This policy effort aligns with goals and strategies outlined in the 2007-2020 MPRB Comprehensive Plan.
To hear suggestions and ideas from the community on this policy, the MPRB will conduct public meetings at multiple locations throughout the city in July. Community preferences for being involved and what subject matter is important are examples of discussion topics at each public meeting.
All meetings will be held at 6:30 p.m. Meetings will be held at:Please take 5-10 minutes to participate through an online survey. Click here for survey!Lynnhurst Park
