Message from the Director

As the Director of the JCSD Parks & Recreation Department, I'm thrilled to announce the unanimous adoption of our Parks and Recreation Master Plan that will redefine the future of parks and recreation in the Eastvale community.

In 2023, we had launched the development of the JCSD Parks & Recreation Master Plan to further expand upon the groundwork established in the original plan from 2012 and its subsequent update in 2019. This endeavor offered an opportunity for community engagement and 1200+ engagements later your input resulted in a plan that envisions the long-term future of our parks and recreation services in Eastvale.

As one of the few nationally accredited parks and recreation agencies in the country, our goal is to strive for excellence and exceed expectations and this plan sets us on a path to keep doing so. 

I am grateful to our partners, RHA Landscape Architects-Planners and Next Practice Partners, two nationally renowned planning experts. Led by Doug Grove and Neelay Bhatt, they facilitated widespread community engagement through surveys, community meetings, and planning sessions, engaged the staff and the Board and helped developed a plan that truly reflects "Our Parks, Our JCSD!"

The real work of implementing the plan now begins as we focus on community through connection and help build the place that creates lifelong memories for all our current and future residents in Eastvale.
