In December 2008, the Park Board adopted a new master plan that will govern the maturation of McCloud Nature Park. This new plan will guide our department in the protection of the tremendous natural resources that can be found at the park while developing appropriate facilities to accommodate visitors. We are very satisfied the plan keeps the natural theme of the park intact, protects delicate resources and will give visitors a host of exceptional experiences. The department will be working towards implementing the plan in phases over the next 15-years. McCloud Nature Park has quickly become a favorite to visitors looking for a high quality natural resource and we're looking forward to keeping it that way, we hope to see you at the park!
