Charlottesville is in the midst of the public input process for a new master plan to guide the future of the city’s Parks and Recreation Department. Master plans are a chance to determine what new amenities will be built and whether new facilities are needed.
“The purpose of the Parks and Recreation Master Plan is to guide the City of Charlottesville for the next 10 years and provide strategic direction and vision to meet current and emerging public needs, as well as remain the primary steward of the significant natural, cultural, and historic resources,” reads the
If you’re interested in getting involved and offering your input in person, there are four upcoming events:
- Sunday, April 21, 2024 from 3 to 5 p.m. at Crow Recreation Center at 1700 Rose Hill Drive
- Sunday, April 28, 2024 from 3 to 5 p.m. at Jenkins Park at 200 8th Street NW
- Saturday, May 4, 2024 from 3 to 5 p.m. at Booker T. Washington Park at 1001 Preston Avenue
- Saturday, May 11, 2024 from 3 to 5 p.m. at Forest Hills Park at 1022 Forest Hills Avenue
Each is intended to have other activities for friends and family who aren’t as interested in the promulgation of public policy.
“Each event will feature a fun-filled afternoon with games and activities, music, bounce houses, food, raffles and more,” the website continues.
The city hired the firm PROS Consulting to do the work, as I reported last November.
