Parks & Recreation Master Plan

The Parks and Recreation Master Plan (PDF) sets forth a strategic vision for enhancing Clayton’s parks, green spaces, and recreational facilities to meet the evolving needs of our community. Adopted by the Clayton Town Council on October 28, 2024, this plan was developed with input from residents and stakeholders, ensuring it reflects local priorities and values. It outlines goals for expanding park amenities, improving accessibility, and fostering inclusive, active spaces for all ages. By guiding future investments and program development, the Parks and Recreation Master Plan aims to enrich the quality of life in Clayton and create a lasting legacy of outdoor enjoyment and community well-being.
