Strategic Planning Process

The Ottawa County Parks and Recreation Commission (OCPRC) initiated a strategic planning process earlier this year. OCPRC is conducting this process to better understand the community’s perception, satisfaction, and needs for the overall parks system. Input was gathered through three surveys to help guide future initiatives of Ottawa County Parks and Recreation. In addition, six visioning engagement sessions were held with various stakeholder groups. 


* *Public Survey*: 5,621 responses
* *Stakeholder Survey: *57 responses
* *Scientific Survey [ [link removed] ]: *400 randomly selected residents
Grand River

“The current strategic mission, goals, and objectives for the Parks Commission have helped guide us to successfully establish a parks system that is beloved by residents and visitors,” said Parks Commission President Kelly Rice. “Now we are excited to review our strategic direction and continue into the next phase of organizational growth.”
