SUBJECT: Duluth Parks and Recreation Final Master Plan Review Meeting
BY: Pakou Ly
The public is invited to attend an open house meeting on Wednesday, November 10th from 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM at Washington Center, 310 N 1st Avenue West to review the Park Master Plan and provide feedback.
Key elements of the Master Plan are to:
· improve the quality of existing parks (especially neighborhood parks),
· focus on connecting the community through trails and bikeways,
· have fewer, but higher quality recreation buildings,
· enhance stewardship of natural resources,
· expand partnerships with schools for community recreation and gathering,
· increase use and recognition of volunteers and volunteer groups, and
· create stable and sustainable funding sources to improve the park system.
The Parks Master Plan is available for review and comment on-line at www.duluthmn.gov/parks/master_plan.cfm Comments from the open house meeting will be used to shape the final Parks and Recreation Master Plan which will go to the Duluth City Council in December.
