Moline’s Parks and Recreation Department will hold an open house from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 30 at Riverside Park Garden Center to finalize the city’s recreation master plan.
The public is invited to stop in to share their thoughts about the plan. MSA Professional Services, Bettendorf, will facilitate the event at the garden center at 3450 Fifth Ave., Moline.
The event is designed to gather input about Moline’s parks and recreational opportunities.
The city’s Parks and Recreation Department is responsible for the management and daily operations of all parks and recreation facilities, including 23 parks, more than 700 acres of parkland, more than 16 miles of bicycle/pedestrian trails, Riverside Family Aquatic Center, Greenvalley Sports Complex, two municipal cemeteries and more.
In addition, it offers numerous sports programs, rentals and special events.
Teresa Leedle, Moline parks and recreation coordinator, told the QCBJ the master plan is largely completed and ready to publish.
“This would include what our ‘plan’ is for all of our parks in the upcoming years,” she said. “Some will have more needs than others. Some do not need any updates or additions because they were just done, where others have not had much done in the last few years, so we will be trying to give more attention to them.”
“We just want to get one last input before printing it,” she added.
