MEMORIAL PARK MASTER PLAN 11/29/2007
|
Creating a Vision for Memorial Park.......
A community recreation plan for the City of York, Pennsylvania
In 2004 Mayor John Brenner appointed a Task Force to develop a strategic plan for Memorial Park to ensure widespread community use and enjoyment of the park and increase sports tourism. The task force recognized Memorial Park as a unique city asset and provided the following vision: The Memorial Park Complex will regain and, eventually, surpass its former reputation and status as a premier softball complex. Through systematic planning with an eye to self-sustainability, the park will become a vital and revenue-generating city asset that will, over time, offer an expanded scope of recreational activities and events. Through sound governance, the development of partnerships, which will promote use of the park, and dedicated marketing efforts this complex will become a hub of activity in the city, serving neighborhood residents, Penn State-York and York Catholic students and staff, York County residents and visitors who will enjoy its activities and events and bring revenue to the surrounding area.  The vision for the complex will unfold in three phases: Restoration
Expansion
Evolution
This Memorial Park Master Plan was determined to be one of the first steps toward achieving the Task Forces vision for Memorial Park.
