CORPUS CHRISTI, TX – At today’s regularly scheduled City Council meeting, Mayor Paulette Guajardo and City Council approved the new 10-Year Parks & Recreation Master Plan.

The Master Plan will create a lasting vision for the future growth, development, and enhancements of City parks, public grounds, open spaces, and recreational assets. It also will support the Parks and Recreation Department’s (PARD) mission by identifying significant investments and operational improvements essential to providing quality parks and recreational resources.

As part of the process, City officials and local partners will utilize the most efficient and equitable methods to meet the recreational needs of the residents of Corpus Christi through prioritized investments, programs, policies, and practices.
