The Planning and Construction Department is essential for the reservation and development of park and recreation facilities to meet the needs of North of the River Recreation and Park District constituents. The Department ensures that the appropriate park acreage is obtained through project purchases and/or donations consistent with current development within the District’s 215 square miles. It also reviews and maintains consistency within the NOR Master Plan as well as oversees the design and completion of capital projects—new construction or improvements to current District facilities.
