Open Space and Trails Survey

York County is updating the Open Space and Trails component of our Comprehensive Plan, and we need YOUR input! Whether you enjoy a peaceful walk in the park, value local farms and access to fresh foods, appreciate the beauty of protected green spaces or want to ensure the health and well-being of our community. We want to hear from all our residents, and we are asking for your help to do this!

Some of the benefits of open space and trails include:

  • Boost Property Values: Trails and open spaces make York County a more attractive place to live, work, and play.
  • Support Local Agriculture: Open spaces help sustain our critical farming industry, providing fresh, local foods and jobs.
  • Protect Our Environment: Open spaces reduce flooding, protect wildlife, and improve air quality.
  • Enhance Community Well-being: Trails and parks offer places to exercise, de-stress, and connect with neighbors.

Our goal is to preserve York County’s natural and cultural assets, protect farmland, improve recreational spaces, and create a cohesive, interconnected network of greenways and trails. Everyone’s feedback is crucial in helping us to create a plan that benefits everyone.
