Updated Master Parks Plan Now Online

In 2006, the City of Midland developed a Comprehensive Parks, Recreation, and
Open Space Master Plan for the near- and long-term park and recreational
planning goals of the City. This update is intended to observe accomplishments, focus efforts of park and open space improvements, as well as to begin to look ahead at
development trends and opportunities yet to come.

Between 2006 and 2012, the City of Midland has taken significant steps towards implementing and improving the facilities in the park system. Of the Top 15 items deemed most important to address by the public in the 2006 Comprehensive Plan, nearly 80 percent of the needs have been addressed. This is a significant number that reflects the City’s focused strategy of project development within the Parks and Recreation Division.

See the updated plan here to learn more about Midland's parks and recreational areas.
