  3. PTROC asks for Community Input!

    Since the Parks, Trails, Recreation and Open Space Commission (PTROC) has been formed, we have been focused on getting up to speed on the progress and plans of Central Park and understanding what our role will be in supporting the community and the Board of Trustees with all things related to parks, trails, and open spaces in Firestone.

    While we continue to collect community input on Central Park, we want to hear about your neighborhood parks!

    What questions, concerns, suggestions, or ideas do you have to improve your neighborhood parks, trails, and open spaces? Share with us in the form below. 

    We will begin to compile ideas and prioritize improvements for a future presentation to the Board of Trustees.
