PARKS & RECREATION MASTER PLAN RESULTS
In 2020 and 2021 the Parks & Recreation Department collected public input through an online survey that will steer the direction of the department for the next 6 Years. The completion of this process maintains the City’s eligibility to apply for grant programs offered by the State. The survey assisted in determining the existing needs and future demands for parks and recreational opportunities in Airway Heights. The following were the notable trends gleaned from the survey:
Residents rated paved pathways and trails as the highest priority for the community and also placed a high value on making landscape improvements to existing pathways and trails.
Residents feel that Playgrounds and Picnic areas are a high priority.
Residents support more Adult Fitness/Wellness, Youth Sports & Camps, and Special Events and would like to see a balance between establishing new recreation programs & enhancing existing programming.
Residents would like to see more linkages between park & recreational facilities, as well as amenity improvements to existing facilities.
Residents support the creation of a Dog Park.
As part of the update, the Department also conducted an assessment of the current conditions of our existing parks. This information along, with the survey results, was utilized to form a list of Capital Improvement Projects the Department will prioritize over the next six years.
Airway Heights Parks & Recreation would like to thank everyone that completed the survey. Without your input we wouldn’t be able to set the course of action and fulfill the needs and wishes of the community now and into the future.
