22 MASTER PLAN UPDATE Current Version

23 Parks and Open Space Master Plan Update

24 FOCUS GROUP INPUT (17 community groups participated) The City of Allen needs to continue to focus on first class facilities and high level of maintenance to compete with surrounding cities Stay focused on water restrictions - plant native species and use artificial turf where appropriate The Master Plan needs to address upgrading existing parks rather than developing new parks The City is near build out and the focus must be on maintaining what is owned The City needs to continue to focus on acquiring vacant land as the city moves towards build out The City should focus on organized and programmed recreation in order to increase participation numbers 24

25 FOCUS GROUP INPUT Multiple amenities and opportunities should be available in one location The City of Allen has been successful in the construction of trails but needs additional connections to create a larger trail network Joe Farmer Recreation Center is too small and needs to be expanded More practice and game fields are needed for each organized sport Recycling and green initiatives need to be implemented in parks (Celebration Park) The City should focus on great spectator areas for parents and grandparents who are watching their kids play Greenbelts need to be left in their natural conditions, little to no maintenance is necessary 25
