Parks and Rec Board approves 5-year plan

Batesville, IN—The City of Batesville recently approved the Park Master Plan at their February meeting of the Batesville Parks and Recreation Board.  The 5-year plan is an important step in guiding the development of the city into the future by opening up funding opportunities for its park system.

The goal of the plan is to continue maintaining programs and facilities at a high level, provide recreational programs for all ages in the community, expand the parks system and implement the trail plan. Some of the top priorities over the next five years include implementing a trail over I-74, complete the park on Six Pine Ranch Road, upgrades to the Memorial Pool, additional paving of roads on parks properties, improve acoustics at Liberty Park pavilion and ensure adequate funding for the parks system.
