Space Plan |

The Fall River Open Space and Recreation Committee is working to update the City’s Open Space Plan, last revised in 1997. This represents the City's comprehensive approach to protecting its abundant natural resources and providing outdoor recreational opportunities for the public. Essential to this planning process is the input from the community-at-large. |
