Dane County Parks is requesting input from county residents to update a plan that helps determine how Dane County manages its outdoor resources.
The Dane County Parks and Open Space Plan is a countywide comprehensive outdoor recreation and natural resource plan updated every five years to maintain eligibility for State Stewardship grant funds. Updates to the plan include identifying recreational needs and significant natural, cultural, and historical resources in the county to be considered for protection.
Dane County Parks will facilitate two public information meetings to kick off the planning process. The first meeting will be held on April 3 at 7 p.m. at the Lussier Family Heritage Center in William G. Lunney Lake Farm County Park, located at 3101 Lake Farm Road. The second meeting will be held on April 15 at 7p.m. at the Village of Windsor Municipal Building, located at 4084 Muller Road in DeForest.
Dane County Parks has also prepared a survey to further explore the overall public awareness of the park system and any improvements that could be made. The survey is available in English and Spanish and will be open until May 1. More information about the plan and links to the survey are available here.
