The City of Ypsilanti's 2008-2012 Parks and Recreation Master Plan is now
available online.
The Recreation Commission and Planning & Development Department have been working on the plan since mid-2007. This 5-year planning process is required by the State of Michigan for the City to maintain its eligibility for various recreation-related grants. Additionally, the planning process helps city staff and the Recreation Commission inventory and prioritize the parks and recreation system, helping the city to identify and engage community partners. The Recreation Commission held a public hearing on the draft master plan on Wednesday, February 6, 2008, and recommended adoption of the plan by City Council. The plan was adopted by City Council on February 19, 2008 and approved by the Department of Natural Resources on March 31, 2008.
Please contact Richard Murphy, City Planner, with any questions about the planning process. Phone: 734-483-9646. E-mail: rmurphy@cityofypsilanti.com .
