It’s Always Been About the Future

All, Stories

HINDSIGHT IS 2020. FORESIGHT IS NOW (OR NEVER).

Never before has our community been better connected.

Never before has our community been free to engage.

Never before has our community been full of wonder.

Never before has our community been so sustainably aware.

A COMMUNITY AT A CROSSROADS.

Beyond the outdoors, the busy world waits with traffic, task lists and screens. But not here. At Great Parks, you immerse your senses in the wilderness that thrives beyond the concrete and glass of our daily lives.

The pandemic forced us to simplify our lives, focus on connections and discover a new pace. Before these new routines and habits slip away, we must decide — do we return to normal or harness a new reality?

Has progress ever been made by returning to the past?

IT’S ALWAYS BEEN ABOUT THE FUTURE.

Great Parks is embarking on transformative change. While continuing to bring excellence to local conservation and your favorite park experiences, we will …

Create outdoor adventure that drives economic development;

Add trail miles that connect you to school, work and wonder; and

Design new experiences to enhance your lifestyle now and for the future.

THIS IS OUR MOMENT. ARE YOU COMING?
