Produced in 2017, the City of Chanhassen's Parks and Recreation System Plan sets the direction for parks and recreation in Chanhassen for the next 20 years. The System Plan weighs community needs and desires with financial realities while ensuring the parks and recreation system continues to meet community needs now and in the future.

Developing the system plan was a year-long planning effort that began in 2016 and represents input gathered from the community, key stakeholders, city staff, and city officials.
