Plan Guidance
In the fall of 2013, the City initiated this project to update its existing Parks, Recreation and Open Space Master Plan. This Plan will provide guidance for creating a sustainable, interconnected system of parks, recreation facilities, open space and trails that respond to community needs as Forney grows. These are integral elements of a livable community. This plan focuses on the City's needs analysis through current, fire-year and ten-year needs and initiatives. It is a community-based plan that will aid City Staff and City decision-makers in providing recreational facilities for the citizens of Forney and in preserving the City's flood plains and other open space areas in an orderly and economical way.
Prepared in Compliance
This plan has been prepared in compliance with the guidelines for park and recreation system master plans as established by Texas Parks and Wildlife (TP&W). TP&W provides a variety of matching grant programs that can provide cities with an additional financial resources, and master plans consistent with the TP&W Guidelines have a greater chance of qualifying for those matching grants.
