The Department of Culture, Parks and Recreation (CPRD) seeks to develop a compelling ten-year plan to elevate Greeley’s culture, parks and recreation system into a world-class system. Currently the department operates and maintains over 2,000 acres of natural areas, 42 parks and five recreation facilities along with equitable and accessible athletics, after school and summer camp programming to thousands of youths and seniors every year. The city’s population is expected to reach 135,532 in ten years. (2032). There is an opportunity now to assess, preserve and cultivate what Greeley residents love about their culture, parks and recreation offerings while also ensuring the department is positioned and prepared for major growth in the next ten years. Greeley’s culture, parks and recreation system could become a model for how a city builds upon its assets and legacy and invests in creating a socially, ecologically and financially resilient community through public health, equity and nature. The Master Plan shall build upon previous plans and current planning efforts underway.
