Trenton Parks and Recreation recently updated the department's 5-year Master Plan. This important document serves as a guide for the department to use when making decisions about future program and facility planning.
The plan was developed under the guidelines set for by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources for the development of Community Park, Recreation, Open Space and Greenways Plans.
The plan is divided into eight sections:
A review and update of community data and demographics were completed. Public input was solicited through focus groups and a random community survey. The results were tabulated and the data, along with community information, was analyzed by administrative staff and the Recreation Commission to develop goals and objectives and the action plan.
A reoccurring trend for health and wellness was seen from public input. When asked to rank items for future consideration, five out of the top ten items had a health and wellness focus, including waterfront development for public use, health and fitness facilities, more walking/biking trails/paths, indoor track, and preservation of open space. This validates the department's current direction and need to expand resources through partnerships and collaborations.
Eight strategic goals, have been identified:
As a result of the planning process a list of capital projects were identified. Each item was tied to a department goal and or key trend that was identified in the department's strategic plan.
