Abstract

The City of Sisters contracted with Cameron McCarthy Landscape Architecture and Planning (Cameron McCarthy) to create a Comprehensive Parks and Recreation Master Plan (Parks Master Plan). The Plan includes a guiding vision for the parks system and provides focus and direction for policy, planning, and implementation efforts. After identifying system assets, deficiencies, and needs, the Parks Master Plan will provide goals, policies, recommendations, and implementation measures that will guide the development of the park system over the next 20‐years.

Description

Effective parks system planning requires identifying and assessing existing park facilities and amenities through an inventory process. The inventory process exposes system‐wide strengths, needs, opportunities and constraints, and reveals underserved areas and services. Knowledge of the activities that occur in each park and the condition of facilities and amenities helps guide recommendations and capital improvement programming efforts. The inventory process includes consideration and assignment of park classifications. Careful review of current and future park system needs by park classification type ensures a balanced parks system capable of efficient service to the community.
