Burnsville Seeks Input on Parks and Recreation Master Plan

The city of Burnsville, along with project consultants confluence, are in the process of updating the city’s Parks and Recreation System Master Plan.

The updated plan is meant to be a practical tool to guide the park system's development for the next 15 to 20 years, according to a news release.

The plan will be used to help prioritize programs and projects in the future, as well as how to best utilize limited resources, officials say.

Over the next several months, city staff and consultants will be looking at the park and recreation opportunities currently available in Burnsville and seeking feedback from residents on how it can be maintained and enhanced.

Residents are asked to complete a brief survey to provide input that will be used as part of the master plan update.

The current Parks and Recreation System Master Plan was developed and adopted in 2000.

The plan established a vision for the park system - including maintenance, renovation and enhancements through the year 2020.

Although the park system is essentially complete in terms of acreage and basic facilities, the City is seeking input on the current needs, trends and future impacts for the Parks & Recreation System that were not identified in the previous plan.
