Parks Master Plan

In 2023, The Village identified a need to capture existing amenities and opportunities while developing a
roadmap and guiding document for future development and redevelopment of parks, facilities, open
space, and programming. In June of 2023, Hitchcock Design Group (HDG), was hired for professional
services to assist staff in the development of an updated Parks Master Plan.

As part of the determining factors in creating the Parks Master Plan, the Village identified a number of
criteria to be included in future developments and redevelopments with the assistance of the community
and the HDG leadership team. Through the community survey and community meetings, input was
collected and the leadership team categorized these areas into the plan’s objectives:

- Maintain and Improve Existing Parks and Open Space Offerings
- Update Aging Park Amenities and Facilities 
- Improve Existing Park and Amenity Assets to Align with Community Expectations
- Expand Indoor Space Offerings
- Expand Programs and Events
- Improve Accessibility, Safety, and Inclusivity at Parks and Facilities.

The Leadership team and Village staff identified strategies needed to accomplish these tasks and created
the Master Plan’s action items to guide the Village for the next 5 years in the development and
redevelopment of parks, facilities, open space, and programming.
