City Parks Master Plan Public Meeting Mar 26 6:30PM

Hi Neighbors!

The City of Salisbury is holding a Parks & Recreation Master Plan Public Meeting!

Day: Thursday, March 26

Time: 6:30 p.m.

Where: Salisbury Civic Center

Address: 315 S. Boundary Street

We encourage as many of you as can possible make it to partake in this public discussion. It will include future planning for a number of items such as:
  • Expanding existing parks and greenways

  • Adding NEW parks (especially important for the Old North Salisbury - North Main St Area)

  • Adding specialty parks such as dog parks, x-sports parks (skate-boarding, bmx-biking, motocross, etc.)

  • Adding public swimming pools


  • Adding athletic facilities


  • Additional biking/hiking trails

  • Picnic areas
As the City develops this new Master Plan, as any of the items above become incorporated, the taxpayers here will be footing the bill, so you may wish to have a voice!

There is an online survey you can take on the City's Parks and Recreation website (www.salisburync.gov/pkrec) that asks your opinion about a lot of these topics. It takes very little time to fill out and especially if you can't make it to the City's meeting, you may want to input your choices through the survey.

Why should us Old North Salibury residents care about a city-wide park master plan? Salisbury's North Main Small Area Improvement Plan had incorporated several small pocket parks in OUR area. If this doesn't make it to the Master Plan ~ we may never see the reality of these areas that will offer so much to this neighborhood!
