[Durham INC] parks future plan

[Josie McNeil]

I attended the meeting at the Milton Road library on Thursday night last
week regarding the work in progress on the update to our Durham Parks and
Recreation Master Plan.

Present:  Nathan, the citizen chair of the study, 3 members of Durham Parks
and Recreations (DPR), 2 members of the Recreation Advisory Commission
(RAC), 1 strong proponent of soccer fields (sorry I did not get his name
and contact information), and myself.  Since they all knew each other from
previous meetings, I was the only new input.  I was very glad to see the
RAC commissioners out for a meeting to hear what citizens think.  And I'm
grateful to DPR for holding this meeting.

Are these meetings being advertised well enough?   I don't know exactly how
many parks we have in PAC2, but I think how they are cared for is a very
important issue for many of us.

I think it is very important that the DPR public information people send
around a notice of the remainder of the meetings on this topic, and
reminders close to the date of each one,  and how citizens who cannot make
those meetings can offer input.
