Parks Master Plan - Preliminary Designs and Survey Now Available

The City of Livingston has embarked on an update of its Parks Master Plan. This comprehensive plan will serve as a critical tool for guiding future improvements and creating sustainable amenities that reflect the needs of Livingston.

The project team conducted a thorough assessment of existing parks and facilities, engaged with city staff and the community, and developed preliminary designs for proposed improvements. These designs are now available for public review on this project page. We encourage residents to share their feedback through the online survey HERE, as public input is essential to shaping a stronger final plan. The final plan for approval will be presented to the community at a future City Commission meeting.
