CITY
OF TAMPA
PARKS
& RECREATION MASTER PLAN /
RECOVERY
ACTION PLAN
INTRODUCTION
The
purpose of the Parks & Recreation
Master Plan/Recovery Action Plan is to engage the imagination of the
leadership and residents of the City of Tampa as we work together to create a
planning framework for the City’s parks system. Our approach is designed to
provide the City with a comprehensive Vision for the city’s parks system and an
Implementation Strategy to realize the Vision. Specifically, this Plan will
strive to answer the following questions:
§
What
are residents’ highest priority needs for parks facilities and
programs?
§
What
is the most appropriate Parks & Recreation System Vision to meet those
needs?
§
How
can the Vision be realized, and what is the most appropriate role for the
City?
As
a part of the “needs assessment” for this project we are preparing both a
qualitative and a quantitative analysis of parks and recreation needs for the
city that will lead to the identification of the City’s top priorities and
goals.
COMMUNITY
PARTICIPATION
One
component of the qualitative analysis includes four (4) community
workshops that will be designed to solicit input from the general public
regarding the community’s preferences and priorities for parks and recreation
services and facilities. The dates
and locations of these meetings have not been established at this
time.
The
qualitative analysis will include a level of service analysis based on
acreage, service area, facilities and population prepared by the City’s
Consultant Glatting Jackson Kercher Anglin Lopez Rinehart, Inc. as well as a
citizen survey to determine community recreation needs and priorities. The
results will help to identify the most common parks and recreation program needs
and priorities.
