Ferguson Township Recreation, Parks, and Open Space Plan Update

During their regular meeting on July 19, the Ferguson Township Board of Supervisors awarded a contract to consulting firm Herbert, Rowland & Grubic, Inc. (HRG) to update the Ferguson Township Recreation, Parks, and Open Space (RPOS) Plan.

The RPOS Plan provides a long-term outlook and vision for Ferguson Township parks, recreation facilities, and open space. The update will drive near-term and long-range planning, ensure Township parks provide recreational opportunities for all members of our community, direct decision-making, and resources toward a defined vision for the future. The Township's RPOS Plan was last updated in 2009.

HRG commits to closely working with the Parks and Recreation Committee to undertake a planning process that explores general growth, development, and redevelopment of open space, parks, trails, and recreation in the Township. The Parks and Recreation Committee held a kick-off meeting with staff, Committee members, Nichole Mendinsky, HRG Project Manager, and her team. The group discussed and reviewed project scope, proposed schedule, goals for the plan, and public engagement process.

The public is invited to attend Parks and Recreation Committee upcoming meetings to receive updates and get involved on the master planning process for RPOS Plan Update. Meeting agendas may be emailed directly to you should you subscribe by clicking here.
