NOVEMBER 2018 Lane County parks are safe, respectful and inclusive places free of hate and discrimination. All park visitors are welcome. Sea to Summit: Creating the Future of Lane County Parks Parks and Open Space Master Plan Final Plan November 2018 Prepared by: 815 SW 2nd Avenue, Suite 200 | Portland, OR 97204 503.297.1005 | www.migcom.com Foreword Lane County is a special place – abounding with natural beauty and countless opportunities to connect with the wonder of the outdoors. We are fortunate to live and play in a county with an incredible variety of landscapes stretching from the beaches of the Oregon Coast, through the prairies of the Willamette Valley, to the forests of the Cascades. Exploring these landscapes through our Lane County parks is essential to the rich quality of life we enjoy. The Parks Master Plan is a 20‐year vision for the future of our parks. It was created through extensive public involvement and represents diverse, countywide values from residents for recreation, tourism, natural resource protection, economic development, and historical and cultural resource preservation. We are extraordinarily thankful for the countless hours of dedicated work that our volunteer advisors, staff and consultants have invested to create this robust and aspirational plan for sustaining and improving our parks. Our parks and natural areas are essential for our health, our environment and our continued economic vitality. With the adoption of the Parks Master Plan, we recognize the challenges inherent in implementing this vision and the collaborative investments that will be necessary for success.
