RDEK working on park management plans for two Area G parks

Area G residents are being asked for their input, as the RDEK moves forward with two park management plans.

“Staff is currently working on management plans for the Edgewater School Path and the Wilmer Community Park,” said Electoral Area G Director Roberta Schnider.

“Though both sites are unique, one thing they have in common is their importance as community assets. We would like to hear from residents about things they would like to see considered as part of the management plans.”

Once implemented, the plans will provide strategic direction and guidance for the district and local community associations for the next 15-20 years.

Schnider said management plans address site planning, development, recreation, access management, public safety, maintenance, control of invasive plants and threats from wildfire.

“Having the input from area residents will help make these plans stronger, so I encourage people to
visit the project page and leave their comments and ideas,” added Schnider.

A project page has been set up and comments will be accepted until 4:30 p.m. on Mar. 13.

If you don’t have access to a computer, you can contact the RDEK directly and ask for planner Ryan Penney.
