Master Plan Update

LARPD Parks, Recreation, and Trails Master Plan Update

Planning the future of Livermore’s parks, trails, facilities, and recreation programs.

What’s Happening

LARPD is developing a Parks & Recreation Master Plan—a strategic blueprint that will guide the growth, maintenance, and enhancement of parks, trails, facilities, and programs over the next 10 years.

This Master Plan is a community-centered vision for Livermore’s future recreational spaces, helping LARPD shape its role as a Regional Park District and prepare for the evolving needs of a growing community.

Why It Matters

  • Establish a clear vision and goals for LARPD’s parks, programs, and facilities.
  • Develop a regional approach to recreation and park management.
  • Respond to changes in housing and community density, planning spaces where people live, gather, and play.
  • Provide a foundation for funding requests, including grant applications or future public support if needed.
  • Ensure parks, trails, and programs remain accessible, inclusive, and enjoyable for everyone.

Statiscally Valid Community Survey 

As part of the Parks, Recreation, and Trails Master Plan update, LARPD is currently conducting a statistically valid community survey in partnership with Probolsky Research. This survey helps ensure feedback reflects a broad and representative sample of residents across the Livermore community.

You may be contacted by text message, email, or phone and invited to share your thoughts on LARPD parks, facilities, programs, and priorities for the future.

Once the statistically valid survey is complete, LARPD will also release an open online survey so that anyone who would like to provide additional input can participate.

Community feedback from both surveys will help inform long-term planning, investment priorities, and recommendations in the updated Master Plan.
