Brownsville unveils 20-year park master plan

BROWNSVILLE, Texas (ValleyCentral) — The City of Brownsville has unveiled a Park Master Plan to guide the development and management of its parks and recreational facilities over the next 10 to 20 years.

The plan takes a complete look at the current state of Brownsville's parks, assessing existing facilities and identifying future needs based on community input, demographic trends, and environmental considerations unique to the area.

"The master plan consists of projects and activities. We're going to be working with a firm, and what we're going to do is collect all this insight, all this data, and then be able to start to see a strategic plan of how we can deliver what the community desires over the next 10 years in their park system," said Sean De Palma, Parks and Recreation Director for the City of Brownsville.

With a clear plan in place, Brownsville can prioritize investments, secure necessary funding, and create accessible, well-maintained green spaces that serve all community members.

The plan is designed to adapt to the city's dynamic growth and changing urban landscape, ensuring that parks and recreational facilities remain relevant and beneficial to the community.
