What is Proposition A?


‘‘Prop A marks Crestwood’s most ambitious parks improvement effort since the 1970s.” 

- Mayor Scott Shipley


A major $33 million bond issuance, Proposition A allows the City of Crestwood to make the most significant park improvements in decades. The City's Parks Master Plan, which was approved by the Board of Aldermen in 2023, laid the ground work for the major priority projects identified in Prop A including: 

  • Construction of a new community center on the ballfield at Whitecliff Park
  • Transforming the existing community center into a pickleball and family games complex
  • Replacing the Crestwood Park playground 
  • Adding a nature playscape and walking trail loop to Whitecliff Park
  • Adding a pedestrian bridge to connect Whitecliff Park to the Lodgepole neighborhood
