Placer County about to prepare its first countywide comprehensive park and trail master plan that will be the blueprint for the next 10 years.

“As our communities continue to evolve it is important to meet their unique recreational tastes,” Supervisor Jennifer Montgomery said. “I am truly excited about how this plan hopes to promote healthy and thriving active communities throughout our county. Enjoying activities in these venues with family, friends or even going solo can create some of life’s best moments.”

The master plan is intended to update the county’s General Plan standards put in place in 1994 and to serve new trends and demographics.

The proposed plan will also work with neighboring agencies that border Placer County, such as Truckee, California State Parks, U.S. Forest Service and various cities to develop a connected trail network throughout the region.

Next steps also include determining available countywide inventory, demand, funding availability, priorities, service standards, fee program and strategic plan.
