First public hearing conducted on Bowie parks master plan
By BARBARA GREEN
Bowie got its first look at a parks master plan Tuesday as its was introduced in a public hearing before the Bowie City Council meeting.
Gary Baker, Josh Miller and Cary Dodson of Gary Baker & Associates, LLC, made the presentation on the first stage of the plan process. He explained the plan will act as a guide to the future and set the general direction for parks and recreation programming and development for the next 20 years.
“It should be viewed as a living, flexible document, to be evaluated and refined on a regular basis to keep pace with demographic, recreational needs and desires of the community, funding and other trends as they evolve,” stated Baker.
