Gateway's GMP: 2012 update

Three years ago, Gateway began its journey to develop a General Management Plan (GMP), a blueprint for the park's future. The Summer 2012 newsletter describes the GMP's progress over the last 18 months.

Highlighted in this newsletter are three management alternatives that lay out different directions for the park. These alternatives define some ideas for preservation of the park's natural areas and historic sites. They offer different kinds of recreation and education experiences, and explore ways we can collaborate with others to make this vision a reality.
