Parks Master Plan

The City of Livingston is excited to announce the kickoff of its Parks Master Plan, a forward-looking initiative designed to ensure our park system meets the needs of our growing community for the next decade and beyond. This comprehensive plan will serve as a critical tool in guiding future improvements and helping us create sustainable amenities that reflect the needs of Livingston.

The project team will kick-off this initiative the week of September 16. They will be conducting a thorough assessment of our existing parks and facilities, engaging with city staff and introducing themselves to the City Commission at its meeting on the 17th.
