Public input sought for parks and recreation master plan

The City of Georgetown will host a virtual public forum at 6 p.m. Monday, May 24, to kick off the creation of a new Parks and Recreation Master Plan.

The master plan will provide a vision for the Parks and Recreation Department and act as a guide over the next 10 years. During the master plan process, consultants GreenPlay LLC will look at the existing parks, recreational facilities, and services, to determine what future level of services will be needed using public input. The master plan will prioritize the community’s desires for upgrading and improving parks and recreational assets to develop goals, policies, and guidelines as well as an implementation plan.

In addition to this public forum, a needs assessment survey will be conducted to determine priorities for the parks and recreation system, facilities, and activities, as well as what funding sources may be available, potential partnerships, and how best to support the parks and recreational needs of the community.

There will be several opportunities for public input throughout the master planning process, which is expected to be completed by January 2022.
