Jonesborough's Board of Mayor and Aldermen took a significant step towards enhancing community recreation by approving a new Parks and Recreation Master Plan during their meeting on April 15, 2025. The plan, praised for its comprehensive approach and thoughtful design, reflects the collaborative efforts of the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board, led by Chris and Rachel, among others.

Alderman Adam Dixon, a member of the advisory group, expressed gratitude for the contributions made by the team and highlighted the plan's alignment with the community's needs. He noted that the plan incorporates insights gained from the use of cartograph, a tool that helps assess park usage and conditions. This strategic approach aims to address existing challenges and improve the overall recreational offerings in Jonesborough.

The motion to approve the master plan received unanimous support from the board, with Alderman Countermind seconding the motion. The discussion underscored a shared commitment among board members to enhance the town's parks and recreational facilities, ensuring they meet the needs of residents.

This approval marks a pivotal moment for Jonesborough, as the new master plan is expected to guide future investments in parks and recreation, ultimately enriching the community's quality of life. As the town moves forward with implementation, residents can look forward to improved recreational spaces that foster community engagement and well-being.
