placed the Greencastle Parks and Recreation Department at a high risk of falling so far behind on
necessary expansion and updates that the likelihood of being able to 'catch up'to modern expectations
and trends may be beyond the reach of the community. The good news is that the community has not
yet reached that point but there should be a sense of urgency on behalf of the community to begin
to look beyond simply maintaining what they have to instead embrace a full-fledged revitalization
and renewal of the Greencastle Parks System, complete with facility improvements and expansion.
This will require additional capital resources to be provided to the department, both from city budget
sources and outside funding sources.
The following recommendations represent a list of items which address both the ongoing maintenance
needs of the system but also the big ideas that residents, stakeholders, and staff indicated are needed
within the community. Some of the projects represented here will be nearly impossible to implement
under the current department funding structure, but with imagination and expanded resource
allocation are not impossible to achieve. the following recommendations are broken down into two
primary categories, first are improvements or steps which need to be undertaken on a system-wide
basis and second are improvements or steps which need to be undertaken at specific facilities. Due
to scale and complexity many of these projects may not be feasible within the 5-year duration of this
plan. In those cases, there are steps identified which can be undertaken within the next 5-years to
ensure that progress continues to be made towards these larger goals.
