| Master Indoor / Outdoor Recreation Plan, for Shenandoah County, Virginia: | |
|
Sympoetica completed the first comprehensive recreation master
plan for Shenandoah County. Public participation was a hallmark of the
planning process involving oversight by a parks and recreation advisory
committee of local citizens, numerous public forums, and surveys of
current program users, school children, and the general citizenry. Both
indoor and outdoor recreation needs were studied with recreation activities
including not only sports and other physical recreational activities,
but also cultural and arts enrichment and special community events. |

| Fairview Park Master Plan & Facility Programming, Woodstock, Virginia | |
Sympoetica was lead park and recreation master planner on a planning team that prepared the long-range master plan for this 73-acre park. The master plan team worked with a steering committee comprised of nine recreation and community stakeholders, including representatives from the town, from the adjacent neighborhood, and from potential recreation partner agencies and institutions. The process included multiple committee worksessions, and public info / input forums. In support of the master plan effort, the team also prepared a Town-Wide Trails System Concept Plan, and an assessment of existing recreation facilities at the two existing Town parks. A wide range of program ideas were identified through the inclusive planning process, and these set the basic park program concepts for Fairview. Public input called for the development of a community-level indoor aquatics & recreation center for all ages, outdoor sports fields & courts, and complementary passive recreation activities such as outdoor seating areas, walking/nature trails, an arboretum, an amphitheater and natural areas. There was a strong desire to preserve and adaptively reuse the historic Wetzel house and barn on-site to create a valuable community asset for generations to come. In 2004, Woodstock fielded its first team in the Valley Baseball League, the Woodstock River Bandits. There is great local interest in building a new ballpark at Fairview for the River Bandits, tournament play, and for use by local high schools. In order to create a ‘flagship’ park for the Town and surrounding area, a philosophy of partnering was embraced by the steering committee. Many of the projects described in the Master Plan are termed ‘Special Partner Projects’, significant undertakings, in scope, quality and management needs, that will require the added resources of other governmental, institutional and/or corporate partners. The Master Plan includes implementation tools and strategies such as facility phasing, concept cost summaries, funding options, and a Seven Year Action Plan that sets out more specific phasing measures for Short Range Projects. |
