Two of the six initiatives set forth in Ramsey's Strategic Plan is to create A Connected (1) and Active Community (2). In working towards accomplishing those initiatives, the City constantly and consistently cares for its parks and trails and looks for ways to improve existing facilities and green space. But, beyond that, the Parks & Recreation Department plans for the future by connecting trail segments to create multi-modal transportation network. The Department also upholds the value of preserving the City's natural resources to provide opportunity for play and leisure.
