Through the vision of the Mayor Henriques and the City Council, a park master plan was commissioned by the City of Woodstock. Through a citizen-based planning process, Ecos Environmental Design produced the award winning Greenprints Project Master Plan. The focus on this plan was to use the miles of riparian and natural corridors in our area to lay out a 60+ mile network of multi-use trails connec
ting present and future greenspaces and providing a different mode of travel within our city. HOW WE GOT HERE
