Visioning:  What is this all about?

In the last year, the Division of State Parks began an effort to look at the Missouri state park system for the next 10 years and beyond. Visioning is the attempt to engage as many staff and constituents in looking at trends and changes and trying to see what type of park and historic site system we can envision in 2017 and beyond.

The following are several ideas within each of key categories or areas of state park management and planning priorities that have been acquired from a visioning process over the past year. The division also received many comments and ideas from visitors and constituents.  Keep checking this Web site for more information about what will be the future vision for the Missouri state park system.
