Background

History

The Mall Park Plan was approved by the Park Board of Commissioners in the fall of 2020 as part of the Southwest Service Area Master Plan.

Master Plan Community Engagement Background

The Southwest Service Area Master Plan (SW Parks Plan), in which The Mall Park is included, is the result of nearly two years of planning and design by MPRB staff, the community, and hired technical consultants. Over 170 community engagement events were held and several different stages of input garnered thousands of individual comments on park plans, guiding principles, and the planning process itself. The master plan was approved by a vote of the Park Board of Commissioners on November, 2020.

The full final master plan documents are being completed now and will be posted to the Southwest Service Area Master Plan project webpage soon.
