Gilbert is putting together the finishing touches of its new parks and recreation master plan, one that will guide town planning in that area for the next 10 years.
Parks and Recreation Manager Lane Gram and Jason Genck, the practice lead for the Parks, Recreation and Library Division of consultant BerryDunn, presented an executive summary of the plan, which was built from residents' input, to Gilbert Town Council during its May 7 study session.
The input came from more than 60,000 “touch points" with residents Gram said was the product of the parks team being a “traveling road show” with different events and ways to interact from February through July last year. The town branded that effort as “Plan Where You Play.”
