CASPER, Wyo. — Everyone is invited to join local government entities in shaping the future of parks and recreation in and around Casper by attending an open house Feb. 27 or completing an online survey available Feb. 27.
“Resident input will play a significant role in ensuring area parks and recreational facilities continue to be vibrant, welcoming and reflective of the community’s values,” states a Visit Casper press release.
The City of Casper, City of Mills, Town of Bar Nunn, Town of Evansville, Visit Casper, Natrona County and Natrona County School District are completing a Casper Area Parks and Recreation Master Plan in partnership with RDG Planning & Design, a nationally recognized interdisciplinary design and planning firm.
To continue advancing this effort, the participating entities invite the public to an open house from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 27 in The Lyric, 230 W. Yellowstone, across from David Street Station.
People attending the interactive session will learn about the master planning process and review an analysis of the park system, including sports fields, playgrounds and natural areas. They may share their thoughts on what they believe are the greatest needs for the future of the region’s park system.
“This event marks a crucial step in shaping the future of our parks and recreational facilities, and the community is invited to contribute their valuable insights and ideas,” the press release says. “Whether you are a frequent visitor or a casual user, your input will help guide the development of a plan that reflects the needs and aspirations of our community.”
In addition to the open house, the participating agencies will launch a public input survey online Feb. 27 to further gather an understanding of area residents’ diverse perspectives and preferences. A link to that survey is forthcoming.
