Seeking its first-ever comprehensive parks and recreation plan and to gain eligibility for state outdoor recreation funding, the City of Quincy enlisted SCJ to create a vision for the City’s system of parks, recreation facilities, programs, and services, integrating this process with a non-motorized trail plan, all while meeting the needs of the community. The City’s goals, objectives, and policies were reviewed, assessing each park, trail, open space, and recreation program as valid components that are meaningful and important to the City’s desired quality of life. A six- and 20-year set of Capital Improvement Program (CIP) projects resulted, including a detailed concept plan and rendering for a newly funded pump track. The City Council approved the final plan and achieved Growth Management Act (GMA) compliance and RCO certification.
