The main purposes of the park charrette are the following:

• Review current conditions and programming for the 12 neighborhood parks.
• Brainstorm purposes for each of the neighborhood parks to provide the City with a variety of park physical components and programming. This will be a wish list that will help residents move forward with their neighborhood park goals.
• Identify goals for physical improvements and programming for each neighborhood park. 
• Discuss next steps and prioritizing improvements. The park improvements that will be pursued are ones that neighborhood associations will help accomplish and align with the goals and priorities of the City's Recreation Department and Department of Public Works.
