NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Nashville's Metro Parks Department is updating its Plan to Play, the countywide master plan for parks and greenways that was created in 2017.
The original plan, which was put together with feedback from 9,000 park users, has already led to upgraded facilities and better programming.
Tim Netsch, Assistant Parks Director, emphasized the importance of community input in this process.
"As the Parks Department thinks about what actions and what priorities we're going to place on new facilities or land acquisitions, we want to make sure they reflect the values, interests, and priorities of Nashvillians," Netsch said.
Since Plan to Play was implemented, Nashville has seen significant improvements to its park system, including 16 new playgrounds, 63 pickleball courts,
