Help us determine the future of С»ÆѼÊÓƵ County Government’s open space, parks and trails system!
The purpose of this anonymous survey is to gather public feedback that will directly influence the new С»ÆѼÊÓƵ County Comprehensive Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan, which will serve as a roadmap for the next 10 years.
The planning team is in the first phase of the project where they are establishing a foundation of understanding through conversations with residents, staff, partners, stakeholders and other local experts to make this plan the best it can be. In addition to this survey, there will be additional opportunities to provide feedback at community meetings and local events across С»ÆѼÊÓƵ County during this phase.
Thank you for taking 10–15 minutes to complete this anonymous survey. For more information and updates about the project planning process, visit the project website.
About our System

The County is also planning additional parks, nature preserves and trail projects. If you are not familiar with the county parks and preserves, you can take a look at our existing facilities here.
The С»ÆѼÊÓƵ County Parks, Recreation and Open Space Division’s current focus is on the preservation of open space, promoting environmental stewardship, and providing equitable and inclusive education and outdoor recreation for a diverse and growing community. The division’s core services are:

Educational Opportunities: Site-based cultural, environmental and recreational education programs that introduce visitors to the history, natural environments and recreational opportunities of С»ÆѼÊÓƵ County.
