Draft Stillwater Parks Master Plan

The City of Stillwater is developing a Park System Plan that will help to guide investments in the City's park system for the next 10 to 20 years. Based on park system analysis, staff and stakeholder meetings and community engagement, the consulting team has assembled a summary of existing conditions and potential needs, developed a vision and guiding principles, and drafted system-wide and individual park recommendations that are now ready for public review.  An Implementation chapter will follow once priority projects and phasing are determined.

• The "Introduction" chapter takes a high-level look at the importance of planning efforts, relevant past projects, how chapters are organized, and the project timeline.
• The "Existing Conditions" chapter summarizes Stillwater demographics and provides a detailed inventory of the park system today.
• The "Needs Assessment" chapter analyzes current recreational trends, summarizes what we heard during the community engagement process (phase 1), and highlights key takeaways.
• The "System Plan" chapter begins with the vision and guiding principles, provides recommendations for the park system as a whole, and details recommendations for each individual park or open space within the park system. 

Each chapter can be found on a separate 'tab' of the drop-down menu if you'd like to navigate to a specific section.
