(Miami, Florida)—The City of Miami is in the process of developing a Parks and Recreation Master Plan to generate a citywide vision of Miami’s 21st century parks and recreation system, and will hold public meetings in August and September.

The Parks Master Plan has been organized into a series of tasks that integrate details of a parks and recreation system with the broader objectives identified in the Miami 21 process. Goody Clancy is the prime consultant, and working in collaboration with the City, will have the primary responsibility of project management and coordination, as well as organization of public workshops.

The public outreach for the Parks Master Plan will be conducted in the same quadrant sequence as Miami 21 public outreach and the master plan will occur in conjunction with the Miami 21 rezoning process. Outreach efforts will consist of two kinds of events in each NET district. The first is a two-and-a-half-hour workshop where the public will have the opportunity to participate in interactive discussions about the parks and public spaces in their neighborhoods. The second is an open house, which has a drop-in format for informal discussions in which people can come at any time to view and give feedback on the results of the workshops and proposals.

The following is the schedule of the Parks and Public Spaces Master Plan neighborhood workshops and open houses:
