All Hands for New Haven Parks!
Strategic Plan

URI is gathering public input to inform the City of New Haven’s “All Hands New Haven Parks Strategic Plan” at the Park Department’s request. Review this presentation to learn more about the vision, goals and timeline. We invite you to the December 3 Quarterly Meeting focusing on this topic. Come share your input in person.
Help shape the Strategic Plan by answering any or all of the following surveys:
Litter Survey / Encuestra sobre Residuos
Trails Survey / Encuestra sobre Senderos
Mowing Survey / Encuestra sobre Podas
Natural Areas Survey / Encuestra sobre Areas Naturales
Waterways Survey / Encuestra sobre Zonas de Agua
Programming Survey / Encuestra sobre Programación
Sports Survey / Encuestra sobre Deportes
Safety Survey / Encuestra sobre Seguridad
Each survey should not take longer than 5 minutes to complete. Take as many as you are willing to do. THANK YOU!
These surveys build off of the Parks survey conducted in 2023 and will inform the All Hands for New Haven Parks Strategic Plan with the goal of launching in July 2026.
