\u201cPublic participation and input is a critical part of the planning process,\u201d said Allentown Parks & Recreation Department Director Lindsay Taylor.\u00a0 \u201cWe want to hear from parks users both young and old and from the neighbors to get an idea of what they want in the park.\u201d <\/u><\/u><\/u>\u00a0<\/u><\/p>\n
The purpose of the master plan is to develop a plan for the park that will consider management issues related to the park\u2019s active recreational facilities, including the basketball courts, aquatic facility, tennis courts and athletic fields; its relationship with-and use-by Dieruff High School, and the vision of the surrounding community.\u00a0 <\/u><\/u><\/u>\u00a0<\/u><\/p>\n
Taylor said, \u201cThis vision will be the <\/b>framework for the park’s use and development over the next 20 to 30 years.\u201d\u00a0 <\/u><\/u><\/u>\u00a0<\/u><\/p>\n
Information on the project will be available on a kiosk located in the park, on the City Parks & Recreation Department\u2019s webpages and on Facebook.\u00a0 Residents interested in additional information can call the Department of Parks & Recreation at 610-437-7750<\/a> or email Lindsay.Taylor@allentownpa.gov<\/a> <\/u>\u00a0<\/u><\/p>\n Information and image provided to TVL by: <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n
