Surprise Parks and Trails Master Plan

Building a Sustainable Surprise begins with good planning and that’s why the Parks and Trails Master Plan was developed. This council-approved plan will help determine the size, facilities, and locations for new parks, trails and open space.

Additionally, this plan will help identify existing canals, dams, and rivers in the planning area as potential trail opportunities to link parks, open space, and schools.

The plan is a living document, and will be updated annually to reflect the latest developments regarding the city’s parks and trails system.

We invite you to read the Parks and Trails Master Plan for yourself and send your comments to the email address listed below. Developers are also encouraged to utilize the document when designing and providing these recreational areas.
