Palm Coast has adopted its new countywide Parks and Recreation Master Plan.

The Parks and Recreation Master Plan serves as a blueprint for the future development and enhancement of parks, open spaces, greenways, trails and recreational services, according to a press release from the city. The City Council voted 4-0, with council member Nick Klufas absent, to adopt the plan at its Dec. 5 meeting.

The master plan is the culmination of a yearlong collaboration with Flagler County and BerryDunn, a firm hired to conduct surveys, analyze data and help city and county staff identify local priorities for a master plan. The result is a countywide approach to mapping the future of parks and recreation in Flagler County, according to the press release.

The city has begun implementing several aspects of the plan already, including updating the QR codes along trails and collaborating with the county government, the Tourism Development Office, the Northeast Florida Regional Council and the National Park Service to make the signage system along trailheads across the county more cohesive.

The city's focus will remain on maintaining and improving its parks and facilities through a continued collaboration with Flagler County, according to the press release.
