Community Engagement

Community input was a key component to developing the approved PRCS parks and recreation system master plan. Over the past several months, residents had opportunities to participate. Meetings were held to provide opportunities for input and a random sampling of county residents was conducted for participation in a statistically valid survey. Residents were also invited to share their comments, suggestions and ideas with the master planning team using an online survey.
