Camas Parks and Recreation to Embark on Phase 3 of PROS Plan

Camas, WA — Camas Parks and Recreation is hosting a second virtual open house for the public as part of the update process for the Parks, Recreation and Open Space (PROS) Plan. The virtual open house is live now and will run through Feb. 4.  Information can be found at https://engagecamas.com/parks-recreation-open-space-comprehensive-plan or https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/d86f944efe93404aac7d38b2c701c86e

Phase 3 of the PROS plan combines community and stakeholder feedback about the community’s priorities, which helped shape the goals and priorities in the draft 2022 PROS Plan. Interested residents can visit the Open House and provide additional feedback on the draft plan.

The current update of the PROS Plan is expected to be complete in early 2022, allowing the City to compete in the next cycle of state grant funding. The update will build on previous plans and efforts and provides a framework to help the City prioritize parks and recreation projects in the next 6+ years.

“The community involvement we’ve had up to this point has been amazing,” said Camas’ Director of Parks and Recreation, Trang Lam. “We’re excited to take this from planning to implementation once adopted by Council in March.”

Camas Parks and Recreation works to update the PROS Plan every six years. That plan then serves as the city’s blueprint for park improvements and recreation programming.  Additionally, by consistently updating the PROS Plan, the City also becomes eligible for state and federal grants.

The City of Camas is home to more than 240 acres of public parkland, 765 acres of open space and many miles of trails. More information is available at https://engagecamas.com/parks-recreation-open-space-comprehensive-plan
