Riverside is looking to improve its parks, and it wants the community’s help in doing so.
The city is scheduled to hold five public hearings this month during which city residents may discuss the services and amenities they would like to see at Riverside’s 2,983 acres of parkland, according to a statement.
All suggestions will go into the city’s Comprehensive Park Master Plan, which is expected to be finished this August. That plan, which will guide parks and recreation development through 2020, is being developed in a series of public workshops, stakeholder meetings, focus groups and telephone and online surveys.
“We welcome community residents, business owners, sports groups, and any other interested parties to share their ideas,” said Adolfo Cruz, parks, recreation and community services director, in the statement.“We’d like to know what you like about our parks system, what changes you’d like to see, and what amenities are important to you and your family.”
Two meetings are scheduled to be held Thursday at the Joyce Jackson Community Center at Nichols Park and the Orange Terrace Community Center. Meetings will also be held April 12 at the Renck Community Center at Hunt Park, the Arlanza Community Center at Bryant Park and April 19 at La Sierra Senior Center.
All meeting times are from 6-8:30 p.m. For more information visit www.rivparksmasterplan.org.
