Parks, Recreation, Open Space, and Public Realm Master Plan
GREENprint Fort Worth: A Community-Driven Master Plan for Parks, Recreation, Open Space, and Public Realm.
After thousands of residents shared their ideas and priorities during Park & Recreation Department’s (PARD) Play Big! community engagement campaign, PARD is proud to share GREENprint Fort Worth, Parks, Recreation, Open Space, and Public Realm Master Plan.
Through public meetings, surveys, pop-up events, and interactive tools, Fort Worth residents played a vital role in shaping the future of our parks and public spaces. While the name has evolved from the Play Big! campaign to GREENprint Fort Worth, the community’s input remains at the heart of the plan.
GREENprint Fort Worth outlines a mission, vision, and a set of goals that focus on equity, sustainability, connectivity, and quality of life. It includes strategies to improve access to nature, support youth and senior programs, protect natural resources, enhance trail systems, and create welcoming public spaces for all.
