Systemwide Parks and Recreation Master Plan Survey
Systemwide Parks and Recreation Master Plan Survey
Sow the seeds, shape the space: help us create the roadmap for Buncombe County recreational future. As part of the Buncombe County Systemwide Parks and Recreation Master Plan, County staff and their consultant team are seeking input as the County begins to identify park, recreation facility, greenway and trail, and open space needs and opportunities.
This voluntary survey will take approximately 10 minutes to complete. Your responses will be helpful for the planning team to learn about your preferences and usage as well as needs and priorities. We greatly appreciate your time and efforts to improve the quality of life in Buncombe County.
