ADAMS TWP — The township parks department is looking for community input to guide its plan for the next 10 years of direction and development.

The Adams Township Parks and Recreation's master plan needs to be updated this year, and officials are reaching out to residents to shape what that plan will entail.

“For our park master plan, our last one was in 2008, and they have to be updated every 10 years,” said Haley Geyer, Parks and Recreations director. “So we're updating it this year.”

She said the department's main priority is to make a plan that best reflects the priorities and preferences of the township residents.

“The biggest goal is just to get the entire community's input,” Geyer said. “We have our thoughts, but it's mostly what the community wants. Their opinions matter to us.”

To accomplish this, the township has posted a survey on its website and on social media through which residents can communicate what they'd like to see in the next decade at the park.

The survey will be open until Tuesday, Aug. 7.
