PenMet Parks is committed to creating, improving, and maintaining high-quality parks and facilities. Capital projects involve new construction, renovation, replacement or improvements to infrastructure and other systems, and acquisition of real property. Each year PenMet Parks develops a six-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) that identifies and prioritizes capital projects to maximize the benefit to the community. The plan is directed at improving the parks and recreation infrastructure for the community to advance the mission of the District. Please see below for an outline of current projects.
