Parks, Recreation & Libraries Vision Plan
In 2023, the Westminster PRL Department launched a comprehensive vision planning effort. The PRL Vision Plan updates and replaces the 2009 Parks and Recreation Master Plan and, for the first time, brings all PRL services under the guiding framework of a single plan that will position the Department to continue its extensive provision of exceptional services to the Westminster community.

Plan Appendices
Plan Themes
The City recently completed its first Sustainability Plan and adopted the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. These interdisciplinary plans introduce concepts relative to health, wellness, neighborhoods, natural resources, and the environment. The PRL Vision Plan will complement and build upon the overarching concepts from these citywide plans to develop a future vision for the City’s PRL facilities, programs, and services. Both plans use a shared system of cross-cutting themes to relate plan concepts, and these are intended to help organize discussion topics for the PRL Vision Plan:
 |
Education & Literacy: This vision should support opportunities for lifelong learning, workforce development, and personal growth.
|
 |
Equity: The Vision should support access to all forms of community programs and services, as well as engagement opportunities.
|
 |
Health & Wellness: The Vision should emphasize the interrelationship between the built environment and public health for people of all ages and abilities.
|
 |
Climate: The Vision should support reduced greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate the impacts of future weather extremes.
|
 |
Resilience: The Vision should support the resilience of municipal operations, residents’ lives, and businesses’ ability to prepare for and thrive when change occurs.
|
 |
Safety: The Vision should support improved safety for residents and businesses.
