Project PROCESS & status
Round #1 of community outreach was completed in Spring/Summer 2022, where we utilized in-person and online engagement opportunities to learn about the community’s desires and priorities for Keiser Park’s expansion. From this input, we have created three unique park design concepts for public review. The community’s response to these concepts will influence the development of the final, community-preferred design alternative for Keiser Park.
Round #2 of outreach is about to begin! Through February 22, 2023, there will be three ways to join the design concept discussion.
Join us for:
Design Charette Workshop | Saturday, February 4 | 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon | Bluebird Center (95 Bluebird Drive)
Concept Design Webinar | Wednesday, February 8 | 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. | *Registration Link TBD*

Project Vision
Provide the Town of Windsor a path forward with a community-derived and implementable plan that guides decision-making and outlines funding opportunities for future improvements of Keiser Park.
The Keiser Park Master Plan Update rethinks the existing 2008 Master Plan of Keiser Park. In 2011, Phase One of the 2008 Plan was built, which includes the three diamond fields, playground, basketball courts, and picnic area in the northern half of the park along Windsor River Road. Phases Two and Three of the 2008 Plan were never realized, and this Master Plan Update looks to reconsider the southern portion of the park with conceptual designs responding to community input.
Additionally, the Town has acquired additional property along the eastern edge of Keiser Park, expanding the 28-acre park by almost four acres, which need to be incorporated into the park site and design.
Guiding principles for the project build from goals in the Parks and Recreation System Master Plan (PRMP), adopted in 2017. The Parks and Recreation System developed eleven goals for the Town’s to support living well, getting outside, walking and rolling, and play.
Project guiding principles
o Expand opportunities for active living/participation (PRMP Goal 1 and Goal 5)
o Integrate ongoing public input and participation in planning and design (PRMP Goal 1 and Goal 7)
o Close the gap on walkable/bikeable park access (PRMP Goal 1 & Goal 3)
o Provide for a variety of experiences (PRMP Goal 1 and Goal 4)
o Meet the community’s needs (PRMP Goal 2)
