The outcome of the plan will direct the park system planning for the next 10 years and will guide the parks department mission and goals to provide leisure opportunities and stewardship of our parks. Public meetings held in May followed by an online survey and interactive platform in August received robust feedback and the project is now in the planning process.
Fort Wayne Parks Director Steve McDaniel encourages people to attend and provide input as they are able. He observes “we have a team of employees who are committed to providing excellent services and offerings to the public.”
The planning process is expected to be complete in the first quarter of 2024.
