Project Background

Welcome to the Yellig Park Master Plan website. Here you can follow our journey to enhance the park. This plan will evaluate the parks' existing facilities and amenities, will engage both residents and community leaders, and will provide recommendations to improve the park.

The recommendations will provide an action plan for the Parks and Recreation Department moving forward and will facilitate future grant applications.

We encourage you to review the website to learn more about the project and provide your input on the proposed park design.
