Tree & Open Space Master Plan Workshop

Newport's Tree & Open Space Master Plan is a foundational document that has guided how we invest in and manage our public parks, playgrounds, and open spaces. Completed in 2017, we think it's about time for an update, and we're excited to be kicking off a public input process with our friends at the Newport Open Space Partnership on May 28th, 2025, from 4:00 pm to 5:30 pm at the Innovate Newport Conference Hall.
