Mission
The Open Space and Recreation Committee was formulated to create and implement an Open Space and Recreation Plan for the City which will:
- Ensure the existence, smart use, and access to open space in perpetuity
- Ensure that contiguous areas, functions, and values that depend on them are maintained
- Propose a process for agreements with abutters with shared use/conservation interests for enhancing open space
- Recommend planned city growth and business development in a way that fully contemplates and strives to maintain the functions, values, uses, and vision for open space in Gloucester
- Establish a criteria and process for ceding open space to development or dedicated use
- Promote awareness and use of open spaces through a descriptive inventory of open spaces
The Committee consists of 7 members, each serving a 3-year term.
in 2011, the Committee completed an update of the City’s 2011-2017 Open Space and Recreation Plan. The Plan includes a list of beaches, parks, playgrounds, and other open space in the City.
