We want to hear from YOU, Stevenson!
This is an exciting time for our Public Parks, and we want you to help re-create Stevenson to fit the way YOU recreate.
The City is leading a coalition from the County, Pool, Port, and School that will identify, conceptualize, and prioritize parks and recreation areas in Stevenson. Once we are done, state grants funds can help turn the concepts into realities.
A full draft plan has now been adopted and is available for public review.
