It’s official! The Willamalane Board of Directors, the Springfield City Council, and the Lane County Board of Commissioners have all adopted Willamalane’s Park and Recreation Comprehensive Plan – our guide for the development and rehabilitation of parks and recreation facilities in the Springfield area over the next 20 years. The Comp Plan, as it is called, is now an official part of the Eugene-Springfield Metro Area General Plan.
“The Comp Plan is a true community plan,” says Willamalane
Superintendent Bob Keefer. “With input from more than 750 area residents,
you and your neighbors have helped develop a working vision for the future
of parks and recreation in the Springfield area.”
That vision includes a neighborhood park within a half-mile of every District resident; Lively Park developed as a true community park with a playground, picnic area, trails and more; multiuse walking and bicycling paths along the Millrace and the Middle Fork of the Willamette River; a new community recreation center to replace the Memorial Building; and a riverfront park in Glenwood.
Community partners include the City of Springfield, Springfield School District, Springfield Utility Board, private developers, area residents, and others. Area residents and public officials also made up our Citizen Advisory Committee, which oversaw the two-and-a-half year-long project.
