GREENPRINT (NOW ACTIVATESJ)

The Greenprint is a long-term plan that sets goals and strategies for how San José's parks, trails and community centers will change over the next 20 years. City staff and policy makers use the Greenprint as a guide as they explore the ways the parks system can help people in San José be healthier and happier. The City is currently working on a major update of its existing Greenprint, which was accepted by City Council in 2009.
