Bloomington’s Parks and Recreation department is asking for public input on its next five-year plan, which will help guide the department’s priorities and long-term goals.
The online survey is open to all residents. According to the parks department website, the master plan consulting team is currently analyzing financial needs, organizational structure, and potential improvements to inclusion and accessibility.
Julie Ramey, community relations manager for the parks department, said a master plan is helpful in assuring the department is financially responsible, cares for infrastructure and the environment, all while prioritizing the community’s needs.
“It's really important that we do hear from everybody in our community so that we can ensure that our long-term plan incorporates the meeting of as many of those needs as we can,” she said.
The public input process will also include focus groups, public workshops, and pop-up events.
