3 B
Lane County Parks to host Master Plan community workshops
Lane County is seeking com-
munity insight regarding the
Parks and Open Space Master
Plan to help create the best
future for Lane County parks.
A 24-member, community-
led task force began meeting in
December to craft draft mission
and vision statements and
potential “service scenarios”
for County parks.
Feedback from the commu-
nity is instrumental in helping
the task force refine the recom-
mendation it will ultimately
make to the Board of County
Commissioners.
“Our parks and open spaces
are crucial to the community’s
economic vitality, quality of
life, and public health,” said
Parks Master Plan Task Force
member Ashely Adelman.
“They also provide an impor-
tant legacy for future genera-
tions. Hearing from the com-
munity is critical in order for
the plan to reflect our residents’
preferences and priorities.
“I can’t encourage people
enough to take a few minutes to
complete the online survey or
attend a workshop.”
A brief, online survey will
provide direct feedback to the
Parks Master Plan Task Force.
Take the survey at bit.ly/
lanecountyparks. Residents and
stakeholders are also invited to
attend one of six community
workshops to provide feedback
regarding best practices and
community priorities.
Community workshops will
take place at locations through-
out the county to reach as many
community members as possi-
ble.
Session 2 will take place in
Mapleton on Wednesday, April
26, from 6 to 7:30 p.m., in the
Mapleton High School Library,
10878 E. Mapleton Road)
Session 5 will be held in
Florence on Thursday, May 4,
at Siuslaw Valley Fire and
Rescue, 2625 Highway 101,
from 6 to 7:30 p.m.
