  Over the past year, Parks, Recreation and Open Space has been on a master planning journey through Our Parks, Our Places. Community involvement and feedback from residents has been a cornerstone of the process, and we are pleased to now share the master plan with Aurora residents.

  The master plan can be viewed in full here.

  An executive summary of the master plan can be viewed here in English and here in Spanish.

  Since spring 2022, staff from the city of Aurora and consulting partner Sasaki have been learning more about how residents currently use our amenities, what their priorities are and what they’d like to see in years to come. Staff have taken everything they’ve learned and drafted a master plan to guide our department into the future.

  The master plan is guided by six principles that will provide an organizational framework to all aspects of the plan, from community engagement to strategies and recommendations. These guiding principles are:

  • Welcoming, Safe Spaces
  • Connectivity
  • Investment in the Future
  • Lifelong Learning
  • Environmental Stewardship
  • Inclusivity

  To learn more about these principles, department priorities and more, review the master plan document in full here. Residents are invited to share their feedback on the master plan through Friday, Oct. 20 through an online survey here.

  Following months of community input regarding Our Parks, Our Places: A Plan for Aurora’s Parks, Recreation and Open Space, the City of Aurora’s Park’s Recreation and Open Space Department and Sasaki Associates are excited to have launched into Phase 2: Visioning. This phase looks to identify and highlight the gaps and needs in the parks, recreation and open space system. This is our time to think big! We want to explore new ideas and ensure our spaces and programming has something to offer for everyone.
