Five-Year Parks and Recreation Master Plan

HWC partnered with Connersville’s Parks and Recreation Department, the City of Connersville, and the Fayette County Community Foundation to develop a Five-Year Parks and Recreation Master Plan. The planning process emphasized community engagement to ensure that future priorities reflected residents’ needs and aspirations while identifying key facility improvements and programming opportunities. The resulting Plan provides a framework for prioritizing projects, guiding investments, and strengthening eligibility for future grant funding.

The Master Plan includes a comprehensive inventory and analysis of the existing parks system, a strategic action plan, a vision plan for Roberts Park, and a trails master plan. Together, these components establish a clear roadmap for the next five years, enabling Connersville Parks and Recreation to strategically pursue funding opportunities, prioritize capital and operational investments, and foster community-driven conversations about the future of the parks system.
