[soccer-l]: Help us plan our next Cosmo Park

[Soccer Field Cancellations]

Help us plan our next Cosmo Park!

The Columbia Parks and Recreation Department is nearing the final stages of the Southeast Regional Park Master Plan process (individually known as the A. Perry Philips Park and the Gans Creek Recreation Area) and want to make sure that you have a chance to voice your opinion.  

There will be a public meeting this Wednesday, January 7, 7:00-8:00 pm at the Activity and Recreation Center (ARC), 1701 West Ash Street. 

The meeting will begin at 7:00 pm with a 30-45 minute presentation by park staff and following the presentation, staff will be available for comments and discussion. Participants will be asked to submit comments on specific forms that may be turned in during the meeting or at a later date. 

These meetings are designed to introduce two concept plans as developed by park planners. These plans were created using information derived from two public meetings in November 2007, seven interested parties meetings in December 2007 and comments from a web based survey. Park planners also evaluated current facilities and compared them to future needs of the department and those that use the parks and facilities. A park natural resource inventory was conducted by staff from the Missouri Department of Natural Resources and these plans were developed in conjunction with their comments. 

Can't make the meeting? 

No problem! Just go to our Regional Park Planning website where you may view the staff presentation, both concept plans, and then submit your vote for the park features that you want to see in our next regional park.  Here's the link:
