The city of Greenville is creating its first master plan for parks, recreation and tourism.
The master plan will provide a 10-year outlook for the city’s parks, trails, green spaces, recreation facilities and event programming. The city hired Agency, a Massachusetts-based planning firm, to develop the new master plan.
Community members are invited to a public meeting on March 26 to provide feedback on the parks, recreation and tourism master plan. The meeting will be held from 5:30 to 7 p.m. at the Prisma Health Welcome Center in Greenville’s Unity Park.
Public engagement sessions will also be held at the Piedmont Natural Gas Downtown Alive on March 26 and the Greenville Heritage Main Street Fridays on March 27. Both events take place at NOMA Square in downtown Greenville, starting at 5:30 p.m.
According to the city, the parks, recreation and tourism master plan will specifically outline goals and strategies for:
- Preserving open space
- Protecting the environment and tree canopy
- Improve the city’s parks and trail system
- Implementing diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives
- Enhancing arts and cultural events
Additional public feedback for the master plan will be collected through an online survey. For more information, visit greenvillesc.gov/2687/PRT-Master-Plan.
