Project Overview:

In the fall of 2006, Rogers established a joint citizen task force to oversee the preparation of a comprehensive parks, open space, and trail system plan for the city.  The public process was instrumental in creating a common vision for the community. A key underpinning of this vision is fostering a high quality of life through the provision of parks, open spaces, athletic facilities, and trails within the context of responsible land stewardship, long-term sustainability, and economic viability.  A mission statement was created through this process and is reflected in the system plan, which was completed in December of 2007.

                 “Promote a high quality of life in Rogers by providing a balanced and sustainable system of parks, natural open spaces, athletic facilities, and trails consistent with the sense of place in the community.”
