BACKGROUND
Parks and Recreation has worked the last several months to develop the 2017 Gaston County Parks and Recreation Master Plan. This plan will serve as a guide to park development and improvements over the next ten years and will be an important tool in the pursuit of grants for Gaston County recreational facilities. To develop the plan, staff and consultants developed an inventory of all public parks and recreation facilities serving Gaston County residents. This inventory includes county, municipal, state, and private facilities. The planning process also included gathering public input through workshops, a county-wide survey, and meetings with community stakeholders. The remaining steps of the process included developing facility standards, conducting a needs assessment, and then devising a plan of action. The Parks and Recreation Advisory Board adopted the 2017 Parks and Recreation Master Plan at their August 21, 2017 meeting.
