FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (UATV)- The city of Fayetteville plans to provide a flourishing park system for all ages, abilities and activities. The city is in partnership with Design Workshop, ETM, and the National Research Center to create a Park System Master Plan over the next ten years.
Fayetteville is known for its natural beauty; great trails, lakes, mountains and places to play with remarkable open-space resources.
The public’s help is needed for the planning process to evaluate the existing conditions of the parks in Fayetteville. The city needs to know the areas are that are in need of growth, improvement, and preservation.
The last Park System Master Plan was conducted in 2002. Since then, the city has completed and also changed many recommendations from that plan.
This plan implements improving outdated facilities, increasing maintenance on existing parks, and growing access to parks to strengthen programs and events put on by the city.
