Scottsdale's Indian School Park is set to receive a facelift, but not before the city hears a chorus of voices from the community, as locals are called upon to weigh in on the park's future. Four fresh concepts for the park's master plan have emerged, and the city's Parks & Recreation department is eagerly soliciting public feedback to refine the park's amenities and layout, hoping to cater to the evolving needs of its residents.

Details featuring variations in the amount and type of fields and courts, circulation patterns, and overall configuration of the park are part of each concept, the department is bent on getting it right, and the community's opinion is vital in sketching out the park's future for the next ten years or more. According to Scottsdale's own website, citizens' input is not just a box-checking exercise but a cornerstone of the designing process.

"Public feedback is a crucial aspect of our department’s master planning process," Nick Molinari, community services assistant executive director, told the city of Scottsdale. "We’re excited to see what the citizens of Scottsdale provide to enhance amenities for the next decade." Once the feedback phase concludes, a final master plan will be crafted, with proposed projects following the city's meticulous capital project process.

Feedback for the park is being gathered at IndianSchoolPark.com, while opinions about the broader citywide Parks and Recreation Master Plan are being corralled at ShapeScottsdaleParks.com.
