Gateway's General Management Plan

In 1979, Gateway published its first and only General Management Plan (GMP). The park is in the last phase of developing a new GMP, which sets the park's basic priorities: to serve the public and preserve the park's natural, historic and recreational resources.

Public opinion is a vital component of developing a new GMP. There will be a final period for public comment in 2013. In the meantime, you are welcome to read the four alternatives that were discussed in the last round of public discussion in the summer of 2012.
