Final Public Input Workshop for Recreation Master Plan May 11

The final public workshop to help create the city's Recreation Master Plan is planned for Tuesday, May 11.

Engineering and planning consulting firm S&ME was hired by the city to put together the master plan. The firm has been working with city staff and meeting with various recreation-related groups and is now ready for the public input phase.

The May 11 workshop will be online only via ZOOM from 6-8 p.m. Earlier workshops April 22 and April 29 were in-person and via ZOOM.

Details and ZOOM links along with an interactive map and opportunities to comment can be found at https://smeinc.mysocialpinpoint.com/lake-wales-parks-and-rec-master-plan

Areas of the city can be pinpointed and comments left under the categories new parks, new programming, existing parks and trails.

Updates and results of a community wide survey also will be posted on the site. The statistically valid survey is being sent out via mail to a random sample of city residents.

In addition to the recreation master plan, S&ME is working as a consultant or sub-consultant for the Crystal Lake Park Connector Trail, Northwest Sidewalks Plan Development, Market Plaza Design, and Park Avenue Streetscape Design.
