IMAGINE THE FUTURE OF PARKS AND RECREATION IN NORTH CLACKAMAS

North Clackamas Parks and Recreation District (NCPRD) will soon be updating the districtwide System Plan, which will shape the foundation for the future of the District.

The System Plan will be informed and driven by research, analysis, and public input, including diverse and underserved voices in the community. Your thoughts and feedback regarding NCPRD’s parks, trails, programs, and facilities will help leave a lasting legacy for generations to come!

What is a System Plan?
The System Plan is a 20-year guide and strategic plan providing a comprehensive view of all NCPRD parks, facilities, services, goals, policies, operations and facilities. It will be a road-map for the future, and will help us identify and meet the changing needs of a more diverse community.

Timeline
The project is expected to begin community engagement and outreach by fall of 2023. A draft System Plan is expected to be completed by mid-2024.

Like many cities, Milwaukie has an ongoing plan for improving how community members get around - the Transportation System Plan (TSP). This plan is updated every five to ten years as the community changes. The TSP also helps fulfill the city's other plans and is required for many types of state and federal funding.
A partial update was completed in 2013, and a comprehensive update was done in 2008. It’s now time for another comprehensive update, which we’re doing now through the beginning of 2025. That’s a big job, so the city will need the community's help!
