Do THIS survey.
One of Grande Prairie's greatest assets is our urban park system. We are so lucky to have a green-space like Muskoseepi that runs from one end of the city to the other. Recently I put forward a motion through the 100th Anniversary committee that would see the Expansion and Revitalization of Muskoseepi Park be the capital legacy project for the 100th Anniversary in 2014. (See Item #5 in this set of minutes)
On top of that we have a system of neighbourhood parks, trails and open spaces that spans the city and forms important transportation corridors.
But of course we're always looking to improve that system and a key step is finding out what is important to residents like you.
You can help us chart the future for our parks and open spaces by participating in our online survey right HERE.
The survey asks questions on everything from how you use trails to what kind of sports you might participate in, to what size of neighbourhood parks you'd like to see.
I've done the survey myself and it takes less than the 15 minutes it says.
Charting the Future of City Parks and Open Spaces
Grande Prairie residents can have a say in the future parks and open spaces in the City.
Until mid-March, citizens can provide input on the Parks & Open Space Master Plan User Survey. It explores a variety of issues involving parks, open spaces, and trails. Public input will be used to guide future improvement, development, maintenance, and management of Grande Prairie’s parks and open spaces.
In addition to the public survey, other opportunities are being planned for community members to share their thoughts and feedback in focus groups and open houses (dates are to be determined).
The Parks & Open Space Master Plan will guide the City in meeting the needs of the community over the next seven to 10 years. The plan is slated for completion in December. It will consider the future standards for parks and open spaces development and the delivery of services to parks, playgrounds, public green spaces, and outdoor recreational facilities within Grande Prairie.
An online version of the survey is available HERE. Questions can be directed to gp_surveyinfo@ sandalackassoc.ca.
“Parks are an integral part of the community,” says Lindsey Juniper, Parks Planner. “The public’s involvement in the survey and public houses will ensure our Parks and Open Spaces Master Plan reflects the needs and feedback of the community.”

Might want to get our infrastructure fixed up before you go spending even more money we don't have. We don't need anymore 50 million dollar (after we pay off all the debt we incurred building it) Art Gallery's that 5% of the population uses.
