WARSAW — The Kosciusko County Parks and Recreation Board has started the planning process to develop its first Five-Year Parks Master Plan.

This plan will help establish a vision for a county-wide parks and recreation system and priorities that enhance the County’s quality of life by providing access to parks and recreational amenities.

One of the ways the public can participate is to fill out this brief Kosciusko County Parks Master Plan Survey at tiny.cc/KosciuskoParksPlan. The survey is available in English and Spanish in an online and paper format. Pick up and return paper surveys at any local library or city/town hall in Kosciusko County.

“We need everyone’s input to help fashion the County’s first Parks Master Plan,” states Rob Bishop, president of the Kosciusko County Parks and Recreation Board. “We want to hear what recreational amenities you would like to see in the County, where we should make connections to and what our priorities ought to be to create an accessible parks system with vibrant recreational experiences and opportunities. We encourage you to take a few minutes to complete this survey.”

Vice-President Troy Turley also states, “We have an unprecedented opportunity to create and connect parks and trails in Kosciusko County. Voices like yours will help guide our progress and success to lay the foundation for the County’s parks and recreation system so please take a moment to share your opinions by completing the survey.”
