The Vancouver-Clark Comprehensive Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Plan is a document that will guide the department's efforts to acquire and develop parks and open spaces, and enhance and expand recreation programs throughout Vancouver and greater Clark County. The Plan focuses on parks, trails, sports fields, recreation facilities, conservation and greenway systems, and wildlife habitat. The Plan reflects the community's vision and lays out a six-year roadmap to meet the park and recreation needs of the community. The City of Vancouver formally adopted the Vancouver-Clark Comprehensive Parks, Recreation & Open Space Plan on December 18th, 2006. Clark County adopted the plan on May 15th, 2007.
