Sustainable Parks

Parks can have great ecological value by preserving natural vegetation, providing suitable habitat, and cooling the air. By enabling more people to walk and bike, our trail system will help us reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The City will preserve and enhance natural environments in future parks and employ ecological strategies in the design and maintenance of existing parks.

Full Range of Recreation Facilities

Tracy’s profile indicates a high demand for sports and fitness activities across the board. The City will deliver new facilities for aquatics, indoor recreation, and sports, while broadening our recreation amenities to keep pace with changing preferences and new trends. Recreation facilities will also be updated to provide full accessibility.

Recreation Programs that Fit the Community

The Department will continue to evaluate and refresh its recreation program offerings to ensure that community demand is being met. The Department will align its cost recovery goals and pricing strategy so that the resources are focused on essential programs, while also enabling “valueadded” programs to emerge.
