Draft Lithia Park Master Plan Available for Review and Public Comment through May 31, 2019 In November 2017, APRC began an 18-month planning process to develop a management plan for Lithia Park. The Lithia Park Master Plan will guide the management of the resources, facilities and visitor experiences over the next 100 years, ensuring that Lithia Park continues to shine as Ashland’s jewel. The process is led by APRC’s team of consultants in the Portland office of MIG, Inc.

The draft Lithia Park Master Plan has been developed with robust engagement with the community. To ensure it continues to reflect community input, please go to bit.ly/LithiaParkMP, to download and review the draft Master Plan and then follow the link to a Public Comment Form where you can enter your comments about the plan itself and/or specific recommendations. The Public Comment Form will be available through May 31, 2019.

A summary of the comments will be provided to the APRC Lithia Park Master Plan Committee in June, along with public comments received. Following a discussion between committee members and the consultant team, the APRC Lithia Park Master Plan Committee will provide direction on what changes they would like made to the Master Plan before it is finalized. 

Comments may also be sent in by emailing ParksInfo@ashland.or.us or calling 541.488.5340. Complete project details at ashland.or.us/LithiaParkMasterPlan.
