Dakota County is updating its system plan for parks, greenways and natural systems. This plan will take the parks department into the next 20 years. The updated plan will frame future work and investment in Dakota County's natural systems, greenways and parks.
Update purpose
Dakota County completed the
last Park System Plan in 2008. Much has changed since then. An updated plan is needed to:
- Respond to changing societal, demographic recreation trends.
- Evaluate the need for potential new parks, greenways and natural areas.
- Identify new partnerships and strengthen existing partnerships.
- Establish consistent funding.
