Longview Parks, Recreation and Open Space
Why Plan?
Like Longview's population, the community's parks and recreation needs are growing. Park Master Plans provide the public a way to help determine the best uses of a site and help Parks & Recreation Department staff optimize management of the park's resources. Although the plan identifies priorities, it does not provide funding for projects. Park planners use public input combined with analyses of current trends and future needs identified in the Park Plan to create a blueprint for use of a park site over the next 5 to 10 years.

PHASE 4: Finalize the Plan
In this final stage, the Master Plan will be recommended for adoption by the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board and adopted by City Council.
