Parks and Recreation Master Plan Survey

The City of Mt. Pleasant is currently conducting a City-wide Master Planning process and gathering input from community members with assistance by its consultant, McKenna.  The Parks and Recreation portion of the City-wide Master Plan effort is a critical component that helps guide parks, trails, recreation and programming prioritization over a five-year period: 2021 - 2025. 

To help gather information on Parks and Recreation services, the City is conducting this survey and seeking community input.  We are asking for your help by sharing your ideas about the programs, services, and facilities that the City offers.  Your participation is crucial to helping Mt. Pleasant make the best choices in parks and recreation.  If you have any questions or additional comments, please contact the Parks & Recreation Main Office at 989-779-5331. 

The anonymous survey should take less than 15 minutes to complete.  Paper copies of the survey can also be returned to Mt. Pleasant City Hall, either in person or by mail, to: attn.:
