The Good Day Grand Rapids team
If you've got opinions about parks, trails or rec centers, the city wants them. The Grand Rapids Department of Parks and Recreation is asking residents to review its proposed 2027-2032 Parks and Recreation Master Plan through Dec. 1. The plan, updated every five years, is required for communities seeking certain state and federal recreation grants.
Director Laura Cleypool wrote that the plan gives the city a framework for strategic investments. You can read the draft online, or find hard copies at the Cook Library Center, the department office and four library branches.
