GAI’s Community Solutions Group (CSG) provided services to implement an update of the County’s Parks System Master Plan with the aim of building a parks system that is responsive to both the specific needs of the community and the resources available to meet those needs.

Over the last 15 years, Seminole County has experienced significant growth in both incorporated and non-incorporated areas necessitating a new system wide parks plan to address changing demographics and trends. Initiatives and recommendations were specifically tailored to address Seminole County’s unique suburban and rural land development patterns and consider the role of various park service providers.

The resulting updated Master Plan provides a blueprint for the next 10 years through a series of actionable initiatives and recommendations to bolster the existing park system. The development of this plan included robust public engagement, comprehensive needs assessment, county-wide master planning, and capital improvement plan development.
