[regionalpark-l] Public Input Meeting Set for Gans Creek Rec Area Development

[Regional Park Planning]

Columbia Parks and Recreation is hosting a drop-in public meeting to gather
input for the Gans Creek Recreation Area in southeast Columbia. The first
phase of development is slated to begin later this year.

Citizens are invited to drop in between 5-7 p.m. on August 21 at the ARC
(1701 W. Ash) to view the proposed plans. Parks and Recreation staff will
be available to answer questions.

Gans Creek Recreation Area will combine with Philips Park to make up a
southeast regional park. A master plan for the park was approved by City
Council in 2010 and was to be implemented in phases as funding became
available.

Proposed in Phase I of Gans are athletic fields, trail, dog park, and
support facilities such as roads, stormwater control, parking lots and
restrooms. Funding for the project will come from the Park Sales Tax,
approved by voters in 2010.
