The Columbus Parks and Recreation Department is updating the its master plan – setting the direction and priorities for the parks for years to come. Parks Director Mark Jones said that based on the public feedback, the community sees several needs in the years to come.

Jones says that the department’s People Trails system will also be addressed.

Jones said will help predict where the community’s population is growing.

The next steps of the master plan will be a review of all the feedback, which is expected to happen in August.
