Regular Meeting of the Parks, Recreation & Community Services Commission - Feb 19, 2026
The near-final ten-year park master plan is built on 2023 survey data showing residents don't feel safe in parks and 66% want more parks funding. Commissioners questioned the age of the data; staff said it's a live document with a five-year update planned and will fold into the general plan.
Planning Commission - Feb 10, 2026
The city's new master plan found only 60% of residents visited a park last year, with safety the number one reason people stay away. Two-thirds of households say they'd pay a few dollars more per month for better parks, trails and programs. Commissioners pushed hard on broken playground equipment at Tom Minor Park, closed pools, and signs advertising completion dates that keep slipping.
