Gilbert going big on getting resident input for parks plan

Robert Carmona has an ambitious goal for Gilbert’s upcoming Parks and Recreation Master Plan.

“Our goal — I’ve been very open about it — is to have the most engagement a master plan has ever seen,” the town’s Parks and Recreation director said. “And the goal of that really is because the Gilbert community deserves it. They’re at a point where there’s a lot of development, a lot of opportunity, and we need to make sure we get it right and we get the community what they truly need.”

By the most engagement a master plan has ever seen, Carmona does not mean a Gilbert master plan. He means any community anywhere. The aim is to top the more than 30,000 engagements for Pflugerville, Texas, a suburb of Austin.
