By incorporating sustainable practices into park design and implementing CPTED principles, we are committed to creating safe, welcoming spaces for all members of our community.</p><p>“Our parks and recreation facilities touch every person in our community, providing spaces for connection, recreation, and tranquility," Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego said. “Launching our master plan is a crucial step in ensuring that these amenities remain active, cared for, and accessible for future generations. We are committed to creating a plan and a vision that reflects the needs and hopes of all Phoenix residents."</p><p>"Our goal is not only to create a beautiful park system but also one that meets the needs and desires of our diverse community" Parks and Recreation Director Cynthia Aguilar said. “Meaningful feedback from residents is crucial in achieving this goal."</p><p>The Phoenix Parks and Recreation Department is dedicated to providing exceptional parks and recreation facilities for all residents to enjoy.
