Why This Measure Matters

Completing the projects prioritized by the community in the 2022-2028 Parks Plan demonstrates how the Department works toward implementing the community’s vision.  

What’s the Story?

• Every six years a list of park development projects is developed with the community during the Parks Plan update. This metric measures how many capital projects have been completed during the plan period from the capital project list.
• During the last Parks Plan period, 2016-2021, 81% of the Plan’s projects were completed.
• OPARD attempts to complete all of the projects listed in the Parks Plan 6-year Capital Investment Strategy during the 6-year planning period. The complexity of capital projects and the outside factors such as permitting, fluctuations in revenue funding, and construction cost fluctuations that can affect project delivery makes it difficult to reach 100%.
• The project list is derived from public input during the Parks Plan process, view the 2022-2028 Parks, Arts and Recreation Plan.
