Pasadena Healthy Parks Plan
The Pasadena Healthy Parks Plan is community-driven and data driven—with a strong focus on equity, public health, and climate resilience. It is designed to be not only a report, but a set of tools for the Pasadena Parks and Recreation Department and its partners to use for ongoing adaptive planning and management. Conditions in Pasadena will change over time, as will opportunities for funding, partnerships, and parkland acquisition. The Healthy Parks Plan is designed to be responsive to these changes. The Plan outlines priorities for the next five years, but the tools and recommendations can also be used much farther into the future.
