Carlsbad CA— The City of Carlsbad is creating an updated blueprint that will guide priorities and proposed investments in parks and recreation for the next five years. This project was interrupted due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and as the project starts back up, the city wants to know if the community’s priorities have changed.
Community members are encouraged to attend one of two upcoming virtual meetings to hear the public feedback that was provided in February 2020 and let the city know if anything has changed.

The city’s existing parks and recreation master plan was completed in 2015. The update will cover:
- Assessment of current parks, facilities and recreational programs
- Demographic and industry trends
- Community needs and priorities
- Funding needs and revenue opportunities
- A five-yearstrategic action plan
Other input opportunities
Input from the workshops will be used to create a survey questionnaire to obtain feedback from a statistically representative group of Carlsbad residents. The survey will also be available online to anyone who wants to take it; however, the results will be analyzed separately from the random sample.
A draft of the master plan will be made available for input by the end of summer 2022, with a final draft scheduled to be presented to the City Council for approval in fall of 2022.
