In August of 2024, the City initiated a master planning process to determine how to best use the 101-acre property purchased along the south side of Bates Rd west of downtown. Over the next five months, an online survey, public open house, and online comment forum, as well as a design charrette produced the preliminary list of uses and elements designed for the Park. City staff, officials, stakeholders, and the public, came together to create a master plan that represents the desires of the community, includes recreation and open space, protecting wildlife and their habitat, and provides needed space to meet important public service needs, such as a new fire station and a location for downtown snow storage. Because of the presence of Woods Creek, the City has begun referring to the project as Woods Creek Park.

The Final Woods Creek Master Plan Report (see also the larger scale graphics ) will be presented to the City Council on March 18th for adoption. Initial improvement projects will be considered this spring and summer during preparation of the 2026 budget.

The City of Driggs has partnered with Teton Valley Aquatics to complete a feasibility study and a concept design for an aquatic and indoor recreation center, which was identified as a top priority for new recreation facilities in the 2014 Teton County Recreation and Public Access Master Plan . Teton Valley Aquatics is currently working with private partners on securing a major portion of construction funding for the project, with the goal of beginning some site improvements in 2026.

The City of Driggs is working with developers and the Teton County School District as the parcels north of Ross Ave begin to develop to provide a linear park system connecting neighborhoods and benefitting the entire community.

The Parks Committee is currently working on ensuring every city park has the basics. This includes proper seating, shade, restrooms, and possibly trash services. Recreation District funding will help provide funding for these basic but very important amenities before the committee dedicates funding to anything else.
