In 2018, Pleasant Hill Recreation & Park District will focus on “The Big Picture”-- a comprehensive Master Plan to shape the future of District parks, facilities and recreational programs offered in the community. To get started, we, as a community, will study and talk about the District’s existing parks, facilities and programs to identify improvements and new opportunities in each area.
All the ideas and suggestions will be pulled together to develop a comprehensive picture of the District’s future and a clear action plan for the next 10-15 years.
The Master Plan process is a yearlong project with an expected completion in January 2019. Community engagement and requests for input about The Big Picture will be ongoing. Residents should look for regular topics of discussion on the District’s website and social media channels (Facebook, Instagram and Twitter).
