Trail and Open Space Master Plans - Ingraham & Associates prepares park, trail and open space system plans for cities, counties, park agencies and townships. We evaluate the existing system, involve staff, officials and public in planning process, analyze recreation needs, and prepare a plan for future park, trail, open space and facility needs. Our system plans include renovation plans for existing parks, service area a needs by park type (mini-park, neighborhood, community, etc.), detailed cost estimates, funding strategy and phasing recommendations. Our system plans have proven to be an effective tool to define and achieve the park system you want. The planning process also builds community and political support for parks, trails and open space. We can include a custom designed public opinion survey in the planning process to determine detailed attitudes about key recreation issues.

This review can prevent acceptance of unusable or inappropriate land and can reduce long-term maintenance costs and operational headaches.
