Abstract

This project was completed as part of the 2015-2016 Resilient Communities Project (rcp.umn.edu) partnership with Carver County. In response to changing demographics in Carver County, the County Parks Department was looking for ways to increase engagement with and participation from communities of color in parks and recreation planning. The goal of this project was to develop specific strategies for the Parks Department to better reach communities of color. Carver County project lead Sam Pertz partnered with students in PA 8081: Participating in Policy and Planning Capstone Workshop, to create an engagement toolkit for Carver County Parks Department that included maps of current park usage, a list of contacts and entry points to better reach communities of color in Carver County, an example engagement process design, and engagement measurement tools. The students' final report and poster are available.
