Share your thoughts about commercial recreation at neighborhood meetings in May

CBJ Parks & Recreation is partnering with Corvus Design to host five neighborhood meetings in May about commercial use on CBJ park lands and trails. These meetings are an opportunity to learn and provide feedback as CBJ works to define a thoughtful and strategic approach to commercial use in the community’s shared trails and outdoor spaces.

Parks & Rec is currently working to create an updated CBJ Commercial Recreation Strategy that is driven by public input and supports CBJ policies and ordinances. This plan will evaluate City-managed park lands and trails for commercial use to recommend locations and restrictions, carrying capacities, intensity of use, and adaptive management guidelines.

The community is invited to join these meetings to learn more about current commercial recreation activity in each neighborhood area and to share thoughts on the project.

Each neighborhood meeting will focus on a specific area of town for discussion.
