Welcome to the RARA Recreation Master Plan Website!
The Rochester Avon Recreation Authority (RARA) is creating a new Recreation Master Plan to shape the future of parks, programs, and recreation services across Rochester and Rochester Hills. This plan will help guide decisions about what activities, events, and facilities best serve our growing and diverse community.
Here, you’ll find updates, opportunities to get involved, and ways to share your input. Whether you’re a lifelong resident, a parent, a student, or new to the area, your voice matters. Together, we’re building a more active, inclusive, and connected future for everyone.
Explore the site, take the survey, and stay engaged!
