The City of Punta Gorda Parks & Recreation

Master Plan

As part of the City of Punta Gorda’s Comprehensive Plan 2025, the City is required to complete a “Parks & Recreation Master Plan”.  The Plan will review the City’s current and future delivery of recreation services as it relates to the City’s growing population and as a vital component of the continued economic sustainability of the City. 

Vision

"Advancing the quality of life through the creation of a comprehensive interconnected and sustainable Park System that promotes the unique character and environment of Punta Gorda"

Mission

In order to achieve this vision and serve a diverse population drawn from across the country and around the world, provide long term personal, environmental, social and economic benefit, and preserve our historic legacy the Park System must be:

* Interconnected * Sustainable * Unique*

The City of Punta Gorda Parks and Recreation Master Plan serves as a declaration of values and a foundation on which to build our Park System.  The Plan looks in a comprehensive way at the existing system.  Specific sections address and assess the existing Park System, summarize public input, define specific park types and associated design standards, develop implementation strategies and technical appendices.

Values

	Interconnected Every element of the park system shall visually and physically reinforce the understanding of the parks as a system vital to the community
	Accessible Every resident shall be able to safely and comfortably walk or bicycle from their home to parks, community facilities, commercial areas, and schools.
	Sustainable Every action and improvement in the park system shall contribute to the environmental, social and economic prosperity of the City.
	Unique Every public space shall be designed to compliment the natural, historic, and cultural landscape of the City.
