FF park plan developing
Published Saturday, March 22, 2008
The first Park and Recreation Department comprehensive plan since the 1970s plan is being developed. Public input is vital to the process, Parks and Recreation Manager Rick Terway said.
For that reason, residents are encouraged to attend a public meeting Tuesday, March 25, 5:30 p.m. in city hall council chambers. Information will be gathered and shared at that time.
“We want to know what the people think. This is the time for their input into guiding the future of the park, recreation and forestry department,” Terway said. “The Public is invited to share concerns, wants or needs or things they want to see in our park system. We’re looking for opinions on how we should develop our parks, the programs they think we need and the (trees, other green space) they’d like.”
The meeting has nothing to do with the recently released park and recreation survey.
“That (the survey) is just a piece of the (park) plan,” Terway said. “The park and rec comprehensive plan will be part of the city’s overall comprehensive plan.”
Comments
The Daily Journal is happy to host community conversations about news and life in Fergus Falls and the surrounding area. As hosts, we expect guests will show respect for each other. That means we don't threaten or defame each other, and we keep conversations free of personal attacks. Witty is great. Abusive is not. If you think a post violates these standards, don't escalate the situation. Instead, flag the comment to alert us. We'll take action if necessary. It's not hard. This should be a place where people want to read and contribute -- a place for spirited exchanges of opinion. So those who persist with racist, defamatory or abusive postings risk losing the privilege to post at all.Posted by Apples (anonymous) on March 22, 2008 at 8:59 a.m. (Suggest removal)
Will the NP Park have any workable clean bathrooms for people to use? Or will they still need to go to the Library and use theirs?
