The Town of Aberdeen Parks and Recreation Department will conduct another Public Workshop on the Comprehensive Plan for Parks, Recreation Programs, Special Events, Greenways, and Open Space at 5:30 p.m. today in the Aberdeen Recreation Station. The purposes of the Public Meeting are to receive additional comments from citizens about their needs and wishes for parks and recreational opportunities in Aberdeen and to review the Draft Plan of previous comments and findings.

The Master Plan defines the vision and mission of the Parks and Recreation Department and sets priorities for at least the next decade. The policies set forth in the Master Plan help guide the stewardship and development of current and future parks to maintain a careful balance between the need to protect and conserve natural resources, while offering recreational use of parklands for all to enjoy

This Public Comment Meeting is part of the process utilized by Site Solutions, who has been hired by the Town of Aberdeen to prepare this document. Site Solutions has completed an Inventory of Existing Facilities and Analysis of Community Standards, received public comments and desires for future facilities, and prepared a Draft Plan of these findings. Derek Williams of Site Solutions will discuss the process and the document during this meeting.

The Aberdeen Recreation Station is located at 301 Lake Park Crossing, in Aberdeen Lake Park.
