   AHPR ACTIVITY GUIDE | SUMMER 2021
2021 SUMMER - PROGRAMS & CLASSES ARE BACK!
WE NEED YOUR INPUT!
                     We are updating our 6 year Master Plan and need your help to guide us into making
                     decisions that meet the current and future needs of the rresidents of our wonderful city.
                     The Parks & Recreation Master Plan is the road map that guides staff to help meet the
                     needs of current and future residents by positioning the City to build on the community’s
                     unique parks and recreation assets, as well as identify new opportunities for everyone
                     of all ages. The citizen-driven six-year plan establishes a clear direction for the Parks &
                     Recreation Department staff, Park Advisory Board, and elected officials in their efforts to
                     enhance the community’s parks and recreation programs, services, and facilities.
                     The success of this process is built upon proper planning and preparation to seize
                     opportunities. The data we collect helps prioritize the needs of the community and
                     prepare us to take the right actions for the right reasons at the right time. It will also
                     ensure continuity of direction as elected officials change and help us be more efficient
                     with limited resources and funding.
                     Public participation is a fundamental part of this effort. This plan is driven by input and
                     guidance received from the community, which begins with the Master Plan Survey. This
                     survey will gather important information regarding current parks and recreation related
                     services and opportunities offered, as well as identify services that our residents value
                     and would like to see in the future.
                     The survey, while anonymous, does ask participants to provide their address to assure
                     that we are receiving data from across the community and to verify that only one survey
                     per household is included in the data. If left blank, your information may not be included
                     in the data.
                          DEADLINE TO TAKE THE SURVEY AND
                      SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS IS FRIDAY JUNE 25TH.
                     Once data collection from survey responses is complete, public meetings will
                     be held over the course of the summer to share the results of survey and gather
                     final input. Meeting dates are not yet scheduled. Dates will be posted online at
                     airwayheightparksandrec.org and on the Parks & Recreation Facebook page.
