Background:
Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD) is working to update the Curry County State Parks Master Plan adopted in 2003. The master planning process is an opportunity to assess natural, cultural and recreation resources as well as management goals and community needs.
Follow the master planning process with our online story map for more details and information.
The draft master plan is slated to be finished in late 2025 and will provide a 20-year vision with a menu of options that can be implemented over time as funds become available.
Oregon State Parks properties in Curry County include Cape Blanco, Humbug Mountain, Otter Point, Cape Sebastian, Pistol River, Samuel H. Boardman, Harris Beach, Crissey Field, Alfred A. Loeb and several others.
The draft master plan will balance the feedback received from stakeholders throughout the planning process. The management goals, strategies and development concepts proposed will incorporate priorities and concerns heard throughout the process.
The final draft master plan is scheduled to be finished in late 2025. Then it will be presented to the Oregon State Parks and Recreation Commission for adoption.
Community Feedback:
OPRD is gathering community feedback to better understand how visitors and community members would like to enjoy and conserve these parks. Once OPRD gathers this initial feedback, staff will incorporate it into the plan development. There will be additional opportunities to provide feedback during the planning phase and then again when the draft plan is available.
