Public Engagement Overview
The foundation of the Birmingham Parks and Recreation Master Plan is an engagement process that incorporates multifaceted community outreach techniques to maximize stakeholder participation.   To ensure that every resident had an opportunity to participate and make their voice heard, the City of Birmingham partnered with McKenna to develop this plan and provide a range of engagement opportunities.   McKenna assisted with the preparation of this plan and designed this process to ensure inclusive and comprehensive engagement with multiple opportunities for input and proactive participation from a breadth of stakeholders, age groups, and knowledge levels.  We engaged participants frequently, in ways that best suit their lifestyles and time commitments so that the time they invest is used wisely.
