City Comprehensive Plan COLLEGE STATION RECREATION, PARK, & OPEN SPACE MASTER PLAN 2006 - 2016 The principal goals and objectives related to parks, recreation, and open space are found in Section 2.08 (Parks and Recreation Goals and Objectives) of the Comprehensive Plan which was adopted in 1997. Three other sections of that document relate indirectly to the provision of parks, recreation, and open space: Section 2.03 (Land Use Goals and Objectives), Section 2.05 (Community Appearance Goals and Objectives), and Section 2.07 (Transportation Goals and Objectives). Appendix 5 lists these related goals and objectives. Appendix 6 lists the Parks and Recreation Board's annual goals for FY 2006.
