Moraine Community Parks and Recreation Vision Plan
This 2025 Moraine Community Parks and Recreation Vision Plan represents what Moraine could become. Moraine is a small city in greater Dayton metropolitan area with around 6,500 people, but the city has a daytime population of over 14,000. In Moraine, the community includes residents, workers, businesses, and visitors. These groups will all be essential parts of a strong community when the vision of this plan is realized.
The purpose of this plan is to provide an ambitious yet feasible roadmap for the future that encompasses the needs and desires of the Moraine community. This plan is important because it…
- Outlines a vision for the future of parks and recreation in Moraine that will attract residents and visitors
- Fosters civic engagement, creates a sense of community, and improves quality of life
- Aligns department operations with community needs, including residents and workers
- Identifies gaps & inequities in service delivery
- Strengthens fiscal responsibility, sustainability, and efficiency
- Identifies future funding requirements and potential sources
- Increases user participation, satisfaction, revenue, and capital investment
- Enables the city to keep up with parks and recreation trends
- Reduces duplication of service and improves partnerships
Meant to instill focus, establish priorities, and inspire action, the plan was produced with guidance from an active steering committee, parks and recreation staff, and Moraine residents. The plan is supported by robust data collection, including hours of in-person engagement, and provides a foundation for continuous improvement of Moraine’s parks and recreation opportunities.
