| Recommendation 31. Create a Parks and Recreation Master PlanEfficiency Study Implementation Plan |
Description |
The Parks and Recreation Department has historically engaged in strategic planning with respect to individual parks and assets, including the City’s trail system. For example, in 2015 the Department completed a planning process for McIntire Park which contemplates improvements to the park’s amenities and infrastructure. Additionally, Park Master Plans have been developed for a number of City parks including the west side of McIntire Park, Rives Park, Forest Hills Park, Meade Park, the Meadow Creek Valley (which includes Greenbrier Park and Meadowcreek Gardens) and Azalea Park.
The City’s commitment to ongoing park planning and the provision of quality recreation services is a primary driver behind the health and robust condition of its parks and recreation programming. However, as the Department continues to evolve and grow toward providing fully accredited services, it is important to create a comprehensive Parks and Recreation Master Plan which considers the entirety of the Department’s assets and operations.
