Overview
Remember the The City of Santa Cruz Parks Master Plan? Well, after 3 years, it's finally coming back to city council for approval! This plan will pave the way for many improvements to the City’s parks and open spaces including creating opportunities for trail improvements. Parks and Recreation staff have put an amazing amount of effort into gathering community input, developing the plan, and going through several rounds of environmental review. This plan has undergone an amazing amount of scrutiny, so city council should easily approve this. Let's show our support as a community in favor of park improvements and new trails by asking that city council approve the plan.
