Planning, Design & Development exists to create quality and safe recreational development and a sustainable City-wide environment through:
Efficient management of the Parks & Recreation Capital Improvement Program.
Responsive professional planning, design, and project management resources.
Asset management of Parks & Recreation real estate and improvements.
Updating and implementation of the Virginia Beach Outdoors Plan and the Bikeways and Trails Plan.
Stewardship of Parks & Recreation natural resources.
A master plan is a long-term outline of potential uses and strategies for a project or site.
The Design Standards Manual ensures the consistent planning and implementation of amenities and features in the City’s parklands. The standards are meant to be consistent, safe, cost-effective, and sustainable elements that are easily maintained and managed system-wide.
