In January 2018, the City Council adopted the Parks Master Plan Update. The adoption marked the culmination of nearly 18 months of community outreach, stakeholder engagement, staff analysis, and a comprehensive evaluation of parks and amenities. The Plan serves as the visionary guide for improving Fresno’s parks, open space, and recreational services. The Plan provides recommendations, strategies, and highlights the community’s priorities for improvements.

On February 18, 2021, the City Council certified Measure P as passed, and collection of the special sales tax began July 1, 2021.
