The Town of Brownsburg is updating its Parks and Recreation Strategic Master Plan. This comprehensive plan will guide the development, management, and investment in parks and recreational facilities over the next five years.

The updated plan reflects extensive community input gathered through public engagement events, stakeholder interviews, online surveys, and a statistically valid community survey.

Key priorities identified through this process include:

• Park Safety: Implementing a system-wide approach to park security to ensure parks are safe, welcoming, and accessible for all users.
• Sustainability: Protecting and managing natural resources through environmentally responsible and ecologically sensitive practices.
• Accessibility: Enhancing access to parks, facilities, and amenities so they are inclusive and welcoming to residents of all abilities.
• Infrastructure: Improving existing facilities and adding new amenities to meet current and future community needs.
• Maintenance: Streamlining maintenance operations to ensure parks remain clean, functional, and well cared for.
• Funding: Identifying sustainable funding strategies to address the long-term fiscal needs of park operations, maintenance, and improvements.
• Public Engagement: Expanding programming and engagement opportunities that align with community interests and support resident health and well-being.

This updated Strategic Master Plan is a critical step in ensuring Brownsburg’s parks and recreation system continues to reflect the values, priorities, and vision of our community.

The Parks and Recreation Department invites residents, park users, families, and community partners to share feedback at a public meeting on January 22 from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m. in Eaton Hall. Following a brief presentation, attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions and share comments with Park Authority members and staff about the future of Brownsburg’s parks.
