OUTDOORS PLAN
The City Manager advised the Outdoors Plan is intended to be a key component of the Parks and
Recreation Strategic Plan, as well as an important part of the Comprehensive Plan. The final draft of the
2008 Outdoors Plan is the City's guidance document for open space acquisition and outdoor
recreational planning.
Cindy Curtis, Director - Parks and Recreation, advised this Outdoors Plan involved community
participation and a great deal of work. In 2000, the City established the Outdoors Plan. During the
Strategic Planning process, it became increasingly apparent it is time to refresh this Plan.
Barry Frankenfield, Planning Design and Development Administrator, displayed several copies of the
Virginia Beach Outdoors Plan beginning with 1994. In 2000, the Outdoors Plan resulted in $500,000 a
year funding.
