The plan builds upon the work that the community and Parks Board has developed, which include a successful regional sports park with multiple baseball fields, a walking trail, basketball courts, playground and pavilions. They also recently received federal funding to assist with the creation of the Muddy Fork Conservation District that includes preservation • areas and a large reservoir. The Five -Year Park and Recreation Master Plain follows the guidelines of the Indiana Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) and centered on the vision of creating a self sustaining and connected park system, while expanding facilities and programming options within the community, This. plan examines potential park improvements that Will create revenue for the Parks and Recreation Board In addition to offering a regional attraction and high -quality of life amenities. These improvements include expanding Borden Community Park to offer additional sports fields, a dog park, bridges and trails along the creek, spray ground and multi -purpose performance venue as well as re-envisloning an underutilized space near the school for a civic park space. Additional recommendations included the creation of local. and regional connectlons between the school, township area and Community Park as well as the Muddy Fork Conservation District and Clark Forest, 22 Featured �0 J.e�� i� >1 Ik 9• � , 1� •4•i ■ •y 3e tar.. 6• : ... i.•ST i' L •• p i - i Z �� n Tyti '_-� --ice �i• 1 � T Yf LiiF•.•�!. �`�iT+'ij_a �,..••�S C7µ •1 ,o�rras�a■.■a•,w.aln..rr. rr.as s i � �_� . �v. r :r ns "•Z� .•�%•' v::..s •^ !�.,. `.Y.:-� `'" 'F��• r■. r. ■ '�- ��,�yyS.��t�+�; sue: �-�. a .. �.0 wti. �-'�`'�' + / • •r.r - 'x ,■ r-�.. r s,7.•ai•i��s-.L`i.+•.�..^:`�� �: �'.^ i ' • 4i: _z ^:.r ,ti r - {� 'x_ � L w� Y 4 f�+. ..fie 4%• � � � � : ` 5::... � . i.i4rrr- •' ijr e" :r;i -„• t��.,�*�Lr;;rs�- �{�;`•��:::=��`:'±=-=='"�r:�:F'••..;� �' - R^�L �j� � :C". to ', Ea:� :' " �uaa:�.� r � •� . tig�::. ..• : Zi.. �.t .�■� �i]�c`,:Y �-a�c'rr�'.�•= �;�R',; :ram-' M '�' 1 1 �� ■-,1 � T -n.�� c• ��'i••,:.�t��"'•}•'y=7-�iii�.rY:i:•{:i.

No longer are a community's parks, trails and greenways considered merely recreational facilities. Today, recreational systems provide another layer of critical community infrastructure. Open space networks provide key pedestrian connections to natural and cultural resources, often celebrating the unique characteristics of a community. They connect neighborhoods and schools, offering an alternative and safe pedestrian mode of transit. More and more communities have discovered that quality park and recreation spaces make a community more -sustainable, They can be the engine that drives cultural and - recreational tourism and promote economic development, We understand that park and recreation master plans must; ■ Meet the recreational requirements of the community or neighborhood; ■ Preserve natural open.space for public open space development; ■ Provide sound planning that responds to financial and maintenance requirements of the facility; and A Utilize cost-effective but high-grade standards for new park development. I Coordination with public agencies is a component of almost every project. From grant and funding agencies to environmental and transportation departments to local government committees, you can be assured that our tears understands the roles these agencies play in this type of project and will meet the requirements of the Individual parties, Our team is famillarwith the City of Richmond through our recent collaboration with the community on the Comprehensive Plan. Understanding those planning efforts will enhance this master planning exercise. f Our proposed Scope of Work is divided Into four phases. This approach is based upon the Scope of Services outlined in the Request for Qualifications that meets the requirements for the utilization of the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, Division of Outdoor Recreation. The final product will be the creation of a user-friendly Five Year Park and Recreation Master Plan for the City of Richmond.
