The Symmes Township Board of Trustees recognizes the need for future planning in an effort to be good stewards of the public's money. With that in mind the Board instructed Township staff to put together a DRAFT copy of a Park Master Plan. Good planning enhances the probability of maintaining a park system we all can be proud of.

Below is the DRAFT copy of the plan the staff put together for review by the Board of Trustees. If you have any suggestions, please send an email to the Township Administrator at administrator@symmestownship.org.
