Metro Parks seeks community feedback as updates come to the countywide parks and greenways master plan
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — As Metro Parks and Recreation looks to update the countywide parks and greenways master plan, leaders want to hear from community members about what they want to see.
The master plan, called 'Plan to Play,' was originally completed in 2017. This year, the plan will be updated as a lot has changed since its completion. Metro Parks and Recreation hopes to determine what new or different needs have emerged as well as prioritize projects and actions through a series of public meetings.

The man behind the public meetings is Tim Netsch, who said that the biggest struggle has been keeping up with park and greenway demand created by population growth. Netsch wants community members to come to meetings with ideas in mind and a vision for what Nashville's parks need.
'In any scenario, we're going to have limited funds [and] limited resources, so we're going to have to pick and choose and prioritize,' Netsch said.
Five meetings have been planned for June with more to be announced in the future:
June 4 from 5:30 p.m. until 7 p.m. at the Hermitage Police Precinct
June 10 from 5:30 p.m. until 7 p.m. at the Bellevue Community Center
June 11 from 5:30 p.m. until 7 p.m. at the Southeast Community Center
June 14 from 11 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. at the Parks Headquarters board room.
If you can't make it to an in-person meeting, but you still have feedback, you can follow this link to complete a survey. The survey will be open until July 31.
