POPS: A Plan for Our Places and Spaces

Public Spaces Master Plan (PSMP) Update Process

After more than four years of collaborative public engagement, the Arlington County Board approved an updated Public Spaces Master Plan on April 25, 2019. The plan for our public spaces envisions a network of publicly and privately-owned public spaces connecting the County’s established neighborhoods and growing corridors to natural areas. The plan provides a framework for protecting valuable natural resources, providing opportunities for structured and casual activities and ensuring access to the Potomac River, Four Mile Run and their tributaries.
