Parks, Recreation, & Open Space Master Plan
Background Information:
A final draft of the update to the San Marcos Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Master Plan has been prepared and will be presented to the Planning and Zoning Commission for review, public hearing, and a recommendation to City Council. The project includes a comprehensive update to the City’s previous 2010 plan as well as a new conceptual long-term vision for San Marcos Riverfront Parks System. The plan identifies a 10-year implementation action plan which includes recommendations on improvements to parks and facilities, athletics, recreational programming and events, greenspaces and resource protection, trails, maintenance and operations, and funding and financing. Development of the plan has included a 19th-month robust public engagement process including stakeholder meetings, town halls, open houses, an online public survey, a design charrette, and various public meetings with appointed and elected officials. The San Marcos Parks and Recreation Advisory Board (PRAB) was the advisory committee for the planning process and unanimously recommended the plan for approval on January 30, 2019.
