The Blaine-Birch Bay Park and Recreation District 2 (BBBPRD2) Master Plan focuses on enhancing parks, recreation, and trails within the district boundaries. Key priorities include coordinating plans with the City of Blaine and Whatcom County, developing funding mechanisms for new facilities and recreational opportunities, and creating a long-term vision for the park system. The plan emphasizes citizen engagement, using community input to guide the development of park standards, recreation programs, and a comprehensive maintenance program. Specific goals include delivering desired community services, annual plan review, providing organizational options for commissioners, achieving state certification, developing California Creek Estuary, creating safe trails between Blaine and Birch Bay, increasing sports programming, and expanding recreational programming to increase community participation.
