City of Plantation Parks & Recreation Master Plan
Miller Legg was selected to prepare the first Plantation Parks and Recreation Master Plan. The firm provided comprehensive recreation planning to create the Master Plan. The Parks and Recreation Master Plan is a tool intended to help the City of Plantation meet the current and future recreation needs of the community. The resident-driven plan serves as a source of applicable decision-making information, and establishes clear goals and actionable objectives to guide staff, advisory committees, and City Council in their work to maintain and enhance Plantation’s system of parks, recreation facilities, and programs over the next ten years.
The Plan was based upon research of existing facilities and programs, recreation opportunities and needs analyses specific to City of Plantation demographics.
To effectively gather and disseminate information during the planning phase, Public Outreach was an important focus of the project. Public workshops and Public Online Survey assisted in determining community recreation needs and desires. All 42 Parks and 5 Community Centers sites were reviewed, along with future expansion opportunities to accommodate program requirements. In addition, Miller Legg assisted the City to achieve its prestigious national CAPRA (Commission for Accreditation of Park and Recreation Agencies) accreditation, a demonstrated management system of best practices and measure of agency quality of operation, management and service to the community.
