Lane County Seeks Input on Draft 20-Year Parks Master Plan
Contact: Parks Manager Mike Russell - 541-682-2001
Lane County invites public comment on its draft 20-year Parks Master Plan, which when finalized will guide the management of county parks from 2016 to 2036. This is the first comprehensive update to the original 1980 master plan. The draft plan identifies strategic investments in parks and open space throughout Lane County that is consistent with identified recreation needs and public input.
“We are excited to get citizen feedback on how the County should be investing in parks and open space during the next twenty years. Our parks are a valuable community resource and provide wide-ranging http://bit.ly/1h3GVtW opportunities to enjoy the outdoors,” said Mike Russell, Lane County parks manager.
The draft master plan is available online at http://bit.ly/1h3GVtW. There are opportunities to submit comments via that webpage.
Copies of the draft master plan are also available at the following public libraries:
- Eugene Public Library (100 W. 10th Ave., Eugene)
- Cottage Grove Library (700 E Gibbs Ave., Cottage Grove)
- Creswell Library (64 W. Oregon Ave., Creswell)
- Siuslaw Public Library (1460 9th St., Florence)
- Fern Ridge Library (88026 Territorial Hwy., Veneta)
There are five open house meetings scheduled this fall to allow community members to provide feedback and ask questions of Parks staff. All five meetings are open to the public and scheduled from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
- Thursday, September 10: Council Chambers, Florence City Hall (250 Hwy. 101, Florence)
- Tuesday, September 22: Lane Fire Authority (88050 Territorial Hwy., Veneta)
