Park Projects
Park Planning
Porter County Parks and Recreation values your input. No park plan is complete without broad and meaningful participation from the public and various interest groups.
If you have any ideas, questions, comments or concerns, contact us at pcparks@porterco.org.
We are currently gathering public input for the Land and Water Conservation grant. If you would take a couple of minutes to complete this small survey for us at Porter County Parks and Recreation, we would greatly appreciate it! The survey is available by clicking the button below.

Park Plans
Park master plans provide the public a way to help determine the best uses for a specific site and to optimize the management of the parks resources. We have developed a new 2023 5-Year Comprehensive plan to guide our goals and developments for the next 5 years.
