BREC Adopts “Imagine Your Parks 3”
In August 2024, BREC officially adopted “Imagine Your Parks 3,” a transformative plan designed to enhance parks and recreation across East Baton Rouge Parish!
This ambitious initiative, led by Agency, emphasizes equity, resilience, and community, ensuring that parks and recreational opportunities are accessible to all residents. With a focus on improving existing facilities in underserved areas, the plan reflects BREC’s commitment to fostering an inclusive environment where all community members enjoy the benefits of parks and recreation. The plan also prioritizes resilience against climate change, with strategies for heat resilience and cool parks.
“Imagine Your Parks 3” reflects input from thousands of community members who shared feedback over the past eighteen months through a broad range of engagement opportunities: a statistically valid survey, door-to-door canvassing, dozens of pop-up engagement events, stakeholder focus groups, interactive community workshops, online surveys, and beyond.
BREC’s parks and recreation facilities have received national recognition for their quality and innovation. This new plan builds upon that legacy, aiming to create award-winning spaces that serve as accessible community hubs. As Baton Rouge continues to grow, “Imagine Your Parks 3” sets a bold vision for the future, ensuring that everyone has a place to connect, play, and thrive in nature. BREC looks forward to working with community members and stakeholders to bring this exciting vision to life.
The Agency team includes CPEX, Octagon Media, Spackman Mossop Michaels, HR&A, and ETC.
