The Jefferson County Parks Department is updating its Parks & Outdoor Recreation Plan. The plan update is for the next five years, and your input matters! You don’t have to be a Jefferson County resident to comment. Anyone who uses the Jefferson County Parks and recreational resources is welcome to participate in the survey!

The plan takes inventory of the County’s parks, trails, and open spaces, notes park improvements and achievements since the adoption of the last Plan, and identifies the community’s future park and open space needs.

Throughout 2026, there will be both online and in-person opportunities to learn about the project and share your ideas about the County’s future park and open space needs. Visit the project website to explore details, sign up for email updates, and stay informed about new engagement opportunities and project milestones.

From January through March 2026, an online community survey will be available on the project website for public feedback. The first in-person event will take place in March. Thank you for taking a few minutes to help shape the future of Jefferson County’s Parks and outdoor spaces! Link to survey: https://snyder-associates.mysocialpinpoint.com/jefferson-county-porp
