LeClaire Parks and Recreation Master Plan - LeClaire, Iowa

Situated along a beautiful bend on the upper Mississippi River at its intersection with Interstate 80, LeClaire is known for numerous historic and cultural features and events.

The Parks & Recreation Master Plan was commissioned after LeClaire hired its first Parks & Recreation Director in 2022. Designed to take inventory of existing infrastructure, programs, and resources, the master plan looks to build on opportunities within the City's resources with a framework for phased future development.

The Master Plan process, including extensive community engagement both online and in-person, outlines the most appropriate approach to accomplish the city’s goals. These included:

  • Prioritizing park growth and accessibility for all members of the community

  • Creating cost estimates for ongoing park maintenance and operations

  • Identifying park growth opportunities and upgrades to existing parks

  • Creating a realistic recreation program for the community

  • Identifying future facilities based on community need and use trends with emphasis on aquatic facilities

  • Evaluating the current trail system map to recommend alignment with the Master Plan

The Parks and Recreation Master Plan provides the community with a road map to develop its park system, create a recreation program, and recognize the benefits of partnering with others to add to the quality of life in LeClaire.
