Your Input Needed: Parks Master Plan
In a recent survey, residents shared some great ideas for Parks and Recreation improvements in our community. Now, we need to determine which ideas are feasible and how they could be funded. These include:
- Added recreation programming
- Indoor gathering space
- Improvements to park accessibility
- The development of a new park
Please share your opinion on which, if any, of these projects should be funded as part of the 15-year Parks Master Plan, with a quick 5-question survey!
