Figure 1.4 Age in <br />Figure 1.5 History of settlement <br />Ramsey's Park and Recreation department can help solidify positive <br />growth by providing opportunities that promote active and healthy <br />lifestyles to improve the quality and longevity of life. An effective <br />department adds significant value to the City by enhancing its <br />livability. <br />The purpose of the Recreation Programming and Partnership chapter <br />of the Park Systems Plan is to explore relevant theory in recreation <br />programming, identify a framework for future programs, and put <br />in place realistic goals and strategies to achieve them. In addition, <br />it also emphasizes the significance of valuable partnerships in the <br />City. As Ramsey is relatively new to recreation programming, it is <br />vital to build a strong foundation in recreation to further develop <br />partnerships, create services that are efficient, effective and yield <br />a continuing return on investments. The Recreation Programming <br />and Partnerships chapter is organized into 6 distinct sections.Topics <br />covered are trends, impact of recreation, state of programs, planning <br />considerations, goals, and strategies. This chapter is designed to <br />interconnect with the 2040 Comprehensive Plan and approved <br />Strategic Action Plan. Additionally, it will support and respond to <br />initiatives found throughout the Park Systems Plan. <br />MISSION AND CORE VALUES <br />A mission and core values were identified to guide the Parks and <br />Recreation Department in future development that aligns with the <br />City as a whole. The mission statement defines the overarching <br />mission of Ramsey, with core values for support. Established <br />mission and core values help guide the Department with planning <br />and development to best meet the goals of the City. <br />Figure 1.6 Mississippi River <br />CITY OF RAMSEY PARK SYSTEM PLAN <br />
