Participate in the Geer Park Master Plan Update

The City is asking for input on proposed changes to Geer Park as we update the park master plan and prepare to add more features. Earlier this year we asked the community about their vision for future park use and development. We are now asking for feedback on three design options that add new park features such as a playground, skatepark, dog park, flexible open spaces, more ball fields, expanded paths, and bike park upgrades. Visit our virtual open house today and take our survey.
