In a recent government meeting, officials presented the draft recommendations for the 2024 Parks and Recreation Master Plan, which received positive feedback from both the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board and the community. The recommendations were shared during a public open house, where attendees expressed their views on land acquisition, enhancements to the Parks and Recreation (PERC) system, and the need for more greenway connections.

Community members raised questions regarding conservation efforts and suggested upgrades to existing parks, as well as the addition of new amenities. The overall sentiment from the public and advisory board was supportive of the proposed plan, which aims to enhance local parks and recreational facilities.

The draft recommendations will be presented to the planning board for further consideration, and the plan is accessible online for public review. Officials indicated that they would return in two weeks to request the adoption of the master plan at the next regular meeting. Additionally, the meeting included discussions on the impact of recreation fees as part of the master plan update, signaling a comprehensive approach to improving the region's parks and recreation services.
