The Recreational Lands Master Plan Task Force, made up of 12 citizen volunteers, was assigned to update the 1992 Clatsop County Recreational Lands Master Plan, which is part of the county’s comprehensive land-use plan.
The task force presents its draft plan to the Board of County Commissioners at a work session Wednesday, March 1, at 10 a.m. in the Judge Guy Boyington Building, 857 Commercial St., Astoria.
The 147-page report and appendix are provided as PDF documents. These are large documents and may take a few moments to open. You may also view this report by chapter.
The task force’s report is organized into nine chapters:
- Planning Process
- Public Involvement
- Current and Projected Demand for Outdoor Recreation in Clatsop County
- Recreational Providers: Resources and Supply
- Park System Goals, Objectives and Action Strategies
- Definitions and Standards
- County Parks & Recreational Lands
- Park System Financial Analysis
- Recommendations and Capital Projects List for the next 10 years
The action plan is intended to guide the county and its partners as they make necessary long-term planning and financial decisions regarding county parks and recreational lands. The plan is also intended to enable the public to better understand its parks system, take a sense of ownership in it and support the type of improvements proposed in the plan.
Four recurring themes were identified in the planning process:
- Improve the parks
- Connect with the community
- Link the recreational resources
- Fund the parks
