Malden's Open Space and Recreation Plan + Art 

The City of Malden is updating its Open Space and Recreation Plan, weaving in arts and culture as part of its vision for the future of its parks, open spaces, recreation, and cultural resources. The plan will provide recommendations for strategic investments in these areas.

A community process will guide Malden Open Space and Recreation Plan + Art to identify the vision, articulate the values, and ensure equitable access to participation in the process and resources through the city. Community conversations with Malden residents, community leaders, and stakeholders will directly shape the recommended actions and implementation strategies.

About the event: The Open Space and Recreation Plan + Art (OSRP) will establish a community vision, goals, and objectives for the future of Malden’s parks and open space. Creating objectives will help prioritize future actions and investments in open space and recreation in Malden. We need your help to update Malden’s current OSRP to provide a vision and roadmap for the next seven years. The City is taking advantage of the OSRP update to include an arts and culture component of the plan, with the intention of considering how arts and culture can enhance the City’s open space and recreation assets.

Important Note: Language access will be provided via Zoom. Please bring a personal device to access live language interpretation at the meeting.
