Park Project Programming Guide

The Parks Project Programming Guide (PPPG) identifies, evaluates, ranks, and prioritizes unfunded park and recreation projects, including acquisitions, repair/rehabilitation, development, community facility, and regional projects. A new PPPG is generally prepared every two years; the posted version will be in effect until such time as an update is completed and approved by City Council.
