Gilbert residents, your opinion is needed. The next steps in the evolution of Gilbert Regional Park are underway, and Gilbert Parks and Recreation is hosting two Neighborhood Outreach events this September to crowdsource your valued insights. It's your community, your park, and now, your chance to directly influence its development.

Those keen to make an impact can choose to swing by The Barn at Power Ranch on September 12 from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., or hit up the cafeteria at Bridges Elementary on September 19, from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. These sessions are not only designed to provide a platform for public input, but also to eagerly showcase the park’s proposed new features, which include a state-of-the-art Ballfield Complex and a much-anticipated All Wheel Plaza. You can find more details and keep nonchalantly up to speed with future events by signing up for the monthly newsletter at Gilbert Parks and Recreation's website.

"This is a chance for park users to shape the future of Gilbert Regional Park, which will serve as a significant destination for generations," said Gilbert Parks Manager, Kylie Sorensen, in an announcement. From dodging through the Adventureland to tossing a frisbee in the Dog Park, or even socializing over Backyard Games, you'll get to weigh in on the experiences that will define Gilbert's outdoor legacy.

Remember, your participation is essential in crafting a space that mirrors the dynamic wants and needs of your growing community. Sorensen further emphasized the importance of these events: "Your voice matters in making a lasting impact," as mentioned by Gilbert Parks and Recreation. Evidently, this is the ideal moment to step directly into the dialogue and help steer to design a park that resonates with residents of all ages. The events are free, and everyone is encouraged to engage in these community-driven endeavors.
