County Planning Commission Seeking Public’s Help with Shaping Direction of Future Parks & Rec System

The Bucks County Planning Commission is asking residents to help shape the vision for the county’s greenways, trails, and park & recreation system.  A new survey will gauge how parks are used, and what future needs are.

According to Executive Director Lynn Bush, copies of the survey are available at municipal buildings, libraries, senior centers, as well as county park and recreation facilities.  The survey can also be found on line by following this link: http://www.buckscounty.org/government/departments/ParksandRec/index.aspx.

“It is important that we learn how our parks are used, so that we can determine how best to meet our needs going forward,” noted Commissioner Chairman Charles H. Martin, who encourages maximum participation.

All those completing the poll will be entered into a drawing for one of several prizes from the Bucks County Park & Recreation Department.  The survey can be completed through September 30, 2009. 

Funding for this project was made possible via a grant from the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR). For questions or additional information, please contact Paul Gordon of the Bucks County Planning Commission at (215) 345-3884.
