Planning for Parks

Sarasota County Parks and Recreation typically engages in a public planning process for each new park development or significant renovation of an existing park. The public planning process varies for each park and depends on the size of the park, the facilities proposed and the surrounding community. Typically a draft concept plan (schematic drawing) is prepared to illustrate the proposed improvements. The public is invited to either develop this plan from the beginning or provide input as the plan is developed. Prior to bringing the concept plan to the Sarasota County Commission for approval, the plan is also reviewed by the Parks Advisory Recreation Council (PARC). Upon approval of the concept plan by the County Commission, staff moves forward to obtain detailed design plans, permits and construction specifications.
