  • Define a community vision;

We want to hear from you! As we set our sights on this park planning endeavor, we recognize the importance of gathering input and feedback from our community to ensure that the Park and Recreation Master Plan reflects the needs, desires, and aspirations of all residents. Your perspective is invaluable in shaping the future of the parks and recreation facilities in Grand Island.

We invite you to participate in four online exercises to share your thoughts, ideas, and suggestions for the Grand Island Parks and Recreation Master Plan. Your input will help inform the decision-making process and ensure that the development aligns with the priorities and values of the community. All the feedback will be essential in the success of the ongoing implementation of the master plan.
