New Parks and Recreation Master Planlittle girl in a twirly chair on a playground with talk bubbles saying we want your feedback

Waukee Parks and Recreation has completed our current master plan. Now, we're working on the vision, direction and game plan for the next 20 years of parks, trails, recreation programming and special events in Waukee. We want your help! 

Community members are invited to share what is working and what they love today, the issues or concerns they have and dreams or ideas for the future. We have a map where you can mark specific things based on location, a survey to gather your thoughts and priorities and a dream wall. Please take some time to provide your input at Waukee.org/ParksMasterPlan.
