Calling all Colorado Springs residents! 📣
The Park System Master Plan Vision Survey is now open and is your chance to help guide future decisions about parks, trails, open space, facilities, cultural services, and programming with the Colorado Springs Parks, Recreation & Cultural Services Department.

This survey shifts the focus from evaluating today’s system to identifying what matters most going forward — like park maintenance, safety and comfort, trails, access, and future investments.
⏰ 6 – 8 minutes | Open until Feb. 13
