City leaders want to hear what neighbors think about our parks, recreation facilities, and more! 

The city’s Recreation Department is working on its next master plan – a guide in providing recreation programs and services for the community, as well as local park maintenance and services. The plan includes an inventory of programs and services; consideration of the structure of the department’s staff, budget, and collaborations in the community; and an action plan for the next five years. 

We want to hear input from the community during this process, so we have a short survey about parks and recreation in the City of Battle Creek. It is estimated to take five to six minutes. Find the survey in three languages, at these links:

You can see the current, 2019-2023 Recreation Master Plan here: http://battlecreekmi.gov/DocumentCenter/View/5396/Recreation-Master-Plan-2019-2023 

All of these links are available together through the city website’s home page. Visit battlecreekmi.gov and scroll to City Spotlights. 

Stay tuned for more news and information throughout this process, including a draft plan for public review, and open houses where you can see the draft plan and learn more from the staff who provide our parks and recreation services.
