NARRATIVE
The departmental priorities over the next 5 years center around helping
the Park Board and Department run more efficiently. In the past the Board
concentrated on maintaining Robe Ann Park and its facilities. The Board needs
to move away from just maintaining the one park to a philosophy that encompasses
the entire community and its needs. To start the Department should hire a
full-time Recreation Director. The Director would be responsible for overseeing
and coordinating seasonal recreation activity programs. The Park Board in
order to keep its members involved and informed should develop a monthly
agenda for its meetings and obtain reports on all aspects of the Park System.
Furthermore the Park Board members should each be responsible for overseeing
an assigned division or facility (the pool, recreation programs, playground
equipment etc. . . ). Once all these priorities are fulfilled it will be easier
to move forward and fulfill the program and facility priorities listed.
The priorities for Greencastle's Recreation programs start with developing
a solid beginning for recreation programs for all ages. Once these programs
are in place then the Board can add on to them. One of the first areas that
/""\ should be expanded is the teenage summer program. This program should actively
involve the teenage population. The final program priority focuses on the
use of the pool. To ensure that the pool is being used to its maximum benefit
and is being used safely, a facility manual is needed to guide the operation
of the pool.
The facility priorities over the next 5 years have two objectives. The
first objective for the facility priorities concerns Robe Ann Park. The most
urgent and also most expensive priority is the renovation or replacement of
the 30 year old swimming pool. The pool's repairs in the past have been
mostly piecemeal when funds were available. The pool now needs the renovation
in order to stay open in the coming years. Some of the other goals concern
the maintenance, repair and replacement of the current playground equipment
and recreation facilities. Also the basketball courts at the park are in
need of lights and new goal posts and there is already interest from businesses
and community members in assisting with this program. Repair of the softball
field and tennis courts have already begun and the work will be finished by
the end of 1989. Also a priority which is already being researched is the laying
down of safety surfaces under all the playground equipment. This has never
been done before and it is an important step in providing a safe place for children
to play. Also a safety factor that would additionally make the park more
attractive is the creation of a natural border (trees or shrubbery) around the
(11n)
•
i
•
park's perimeter. This border would keep children from darting out into the
n busy streets surrounding the park. In addition, maintenance and update of the
streets, sidewalks and curbs needs to be continued. To go along with keeping
maintenance of Robe Ann Park a high priority, the Board must research how to
improve the maintenance facilities at the park. A new priority not mentioned
in previous plans is making the park more handicapped accessible. In the
following 5 years the goals are to provide designated, paved parking spaces
for the handicapped and to make the pool and pool house handicapped accessible.
The second objective is to provide more park land for Greencastle. Adjacent
to Robe Ann Park is a nursery - that land could be developed to give the park
more space for picnic areas or for the addition of more recreation facilities.
Also immediately adjacent to the park is a plot of undeveloped land that is
currently owned by the Greencastle School System. This land could be used for
additional playground equipment or for another shelter house.

Now that this plan is complete, yearly reviews to keep the plan current
will be instituted. The city clerk-treasurer requests a proposed budget for
the following year each July. To help the Board prepare its budget requests
the plan will be reviewed and updated early each year. The Board will review
the needs and action schedule of the plan and note which actions have been
completed and which ones have yet to be carried out. Also at this time, data
should be collected from other city agencies to see if there has been any
changes in the demographics of the city. Any changes should be noted in a
formal amendment to the DNR if it causes any changes in the Priorities and
Action Schedule in the Master Plan. These yearly reviews will help keep the
plan current and make it easier for the Board when a new Master Plan must be
submitted.
