The Master Plan process aims to review and analyze the entire parks and recreation system, from arks and facilities to programs and operations. The goal is to create a roadmap for the future. This project website is a means to stay connected to the project, to learn about upcoming engagement opportunities, and provides an additional chance to provide feedback.
Your feedback will help guide the City of Fairfax Parks and Recreation Department make informed decisions that will best meet your needs over the next 10 years.
We have many opportunities to build and improve our future. Take a moment and provide your feedback through a variety of interactive engagement features by:
- Providing feedback on the ideas board
- Prioritizing spending by voting for desired budget items
- Participating in the community forum
We look forward to hearing from you!

More dog parks would be great. There are very few in the county. I’d love one in Mantua where there are 1500 + houses.

Would love a trail that allows access to Van Dyck from Country Club Hills. With the fence built around St Leo’s we don’t have access anymore

The category list on this Ideas Board doesn't take into account the importance of preserved wooded areas. The term open space is not enough
