The Linn County Conservation Board approved Master Plans in 2015 for the 3 county flagship parks. The purpose and goals of the master park plans are to:

  • Serve as a guide for future development of the parks
  • Provide a means to determine best uses for the park and to optimize management of the parks’ natural and man-made resources
  • Serve as a general guide for future appropriate park uses and their approximate location within the park
  • Create a long range vision (10-20 years) for future development and programming.
