what is a master plan?
A master plan is a long-term guide that will help us prioritize new parks, programs, and services, while also making sure the current ones are being used and cared for properly. This document will help to ensure everyone has access to great spaces to play, relax, and connect with nature—no matter where they live. Through planning and analysis, we will provide recommendations, goals, and implementation ideas to guide the future of Fairway's Parks & Recreation system that will meet the needs of the community.
Why planning matters
Parks and recreation spaces are essential for a happy and healthy community. But how do we make sure our parks meet the needs of everyone now and in the future? That’s where Parks & Recreation Master Planning comes in! This process helps us figure out what’s working, what’s needed, and how we can make improvements in the most efficient and effective way possible.
The planning process also brings the community together to share ideas, build support, and strengthen connections. Plus, it helps secure funding for new projects and improvements. Ultimately, a master plan helps ensure our parks, trails, and recreational areas continue to thrive and support the health and happiness of all residents!
