Over the summer, the City and Borough Parks & Recreation Department conducted an informal survey to better understand the current recreational uses, ideas for improvements, and community values for recreation in the Montana Creek Area. The results from the survey are being used to develop and guide the master plan process. The feedback from the survey informs questions to ask of the community and draft concepts to prepare for review. The survey results will not be used to make policy decisions or determine development and management of the area. The results are the first step in public engagement to begin a conversation with the community and land managers. Find the Survey Report here and all project updates here.

During the month of September, land managers will meet with stakeholder groups in the area to understand their goals and vision for the process and project area. With this information, concept drawings and plans will be developed for community input and review at a public meeting. The process will include multiple opportunities for public input throughout the fall and early winter.
