Area(s) Affected: This funding will be available for use on Capital Recreation and Parks projects throughout the City.
Master Plan Relation: This project will support the mission of the Recreation and Parks Master Plan by helping to ensure that the parks, trails, and facilities remain accessible, safe, updated, and user friendly.
