A Community-Driven Process
Every step of planning has been shaped by community input and a shared desire to create spaces that serve residents today and in the future.
Gathering resident feedback
The city has used a variety of engagement tools to better understand residents’ needs, priorities, and aspirations for future recreation investments, including:
Resident surveys
Public meetings
Community events
Public comments received through email and social media
An interactive feedback map and other online engagement tools
Recreational Facility Assessments
The city conducts thorough facility assessments to help identify specific needs and ensure Plymouth’s public amenities can continue serving residents safely and effectively. Recent assessments include:
The Plymouth Ice Center underwent a facility assessment in March 2023, which included a complete inventory and evaluation of all systems to understand where repairs and updates are needed.
The Fieldhouse dome and turf undergo annual assessments of their conditions, operational performance, and compliance with safety standards, helping the city proactively identify any issues and necessary improvements.
The three recreation projects included in the Play It Forward Plymouth plan have been submitted to the Minnesota Legislature for authorization
State approval is required before the city can place a local sales tax question on the ballot. If authorized, Plymouth voters would have the opportunity in November to consider a local half-cent sales tax to support these investments.
The conversation will continue
As planning advances, Plymouth will keep residents involved – offering updates and opportunities for input before decisions are finalized
