Public Invited To Parks And Recreation Department Facilities Plan

The Parks and Recreation Department encourages the public to comment on its 10-Year Facilities Plan, which is now available at parks.lincoln.ne.gov. The plan covers repair and replacement of existing facilities and development of new facilities. The public can comment in three ways:

The Parks and Recreation Advisory Board will accept comments during its monthly meeting at 4 p.m. Thursday, November 14 at the Parks and Recreation Department Administration Office, 3131 “O” Street, Suite 300.
Email comments will be accepted through Monday, December 2 to [email protected].
Comments can be mailed to Lincoln Parks and Recreation, 3131 “O” Street, Suite 300, Lincoln, NE 68510. These must be postmarked on or before December 2.

Paper copies of the plan are available at the Parks and Recreation Department Administration Office.

The plan covers all facilities managed by the Parks and Recreation Department, including parks, trails, public trees, public gardens, pools, recreation centers, and golf courses. It is updated every two years prior to the development of the City operating budget and the Capital Improvement Program.

The Parks and Recreation Advisory Board and Department staff will review comments and consider revisions prior to adoption of the plan during its monthly meeting on December 12
