About Us

Work closely with the city
Create & sustain innovative parks
Enriching the CR community
Addressing Community Concerns
Continuing to Revitalize Flood Areas
We are maintaining parks, with special attention to those in flood prone areas, as greenways are fantastic floodwater buffers.
Increase Economic Opportunities
We’re here to cultivate more recreational variety to attract people to the area – in turn increasing economic opportunities in the Cedar Rapids Area.
Improve Trail Connectivity Throughout the City
An interconnected trail system allows for a broader use of our parks, and we are working to achieve this goal.
