An initial opportunity for the community to offer input on the Wakefield Valley Park Master Plan was provided by the City in December 2020.  Based on that input, a second iteration of the conceptual plan has been prepared.  Community members will have the opportunity on January 27, 2021 to review and offer feedback on this latest version, including where to focus activities within the Park property.

Westminster Mayor Joe Dominick stated, “The development of a master plan for Wakefield Valley Park is vitally important, as the plan will provide a foundation for the future phased development of the property, and also lay the groundwork for future City grant applications to finance park improvements.  We are grateful that so many community members participated in the initial community meeting in December, and I encourage everyone to take advantage of the opportunity to make their voice heard at the January 27, 2021 meeting.”  

On September 14, 2020, the Mayor and Common Council authorized execution of a contract with Pennoni Associates, Inc. to assist the City with the development of the master plan.  The project is funded with grant monies from the Land and Water Conservation Fund.
