HRPD Master Plan 2019

Over the last year, the Hesperia Recreation and Park District conducted a Comprehensive Master Plan update. We heard from residents, business owners, special interest groups and other interested parties.

The Comprehensive Master Plan update considered the existing parks, recreational facilities, programs and services, and determined the current and future level of services for the community based on public input.

If you participated in our Online Survey, mailed Need Assessment Survey or Special Interest Group meetings, THANK YOU!

The Hesperia Recreation and Park District hired GreenPlay, LLC, a nationally-known parks and recreation management consulting firm to oversee the plan.
