Approval of Southeast (SE) Redmond Park Master Plan
OVERVIEW STATEMENT:
recommendation
The Redmond Parks, Trails, and Recreation Commission have recommended approval of the Southeast Redmond Park Master Plan.
The Southeast Redmond Park Master Plan was crafted through extensive community engagement, including three community meetings and three online questionnaires to gather public input. Berger Partnership led the design process, presenting three distinct preliminary park concepts. The Preferred Plan was cultivated by the community feedback on these concepts. This final master plan includes a narrative, summary of community input, and the master plan concept.
