Broward County locals interested in parks and recreation have to mark their calendars. In an effort to foster community engagement, the Parks and Recreation Division has set up a public participation forum for Thursday, October 10 starting at 7 p.m. The event will take place at Plantation Heritage Park, located at 1100 S. Fig Tree Lane in Plantation, according to a notice from their official website.
Interested members to speak at the forum must complete a speaker form and submit it to [email protected] before the meeting. The document's a necessity for anyone wishing to address the Parks Advisory Board, and should include your name, address, phone number, and topic for discussion. After submitting personal information on a digital form, participants will be given a two to three minute window to make their case, sharing their takes on recreational needs within the county's green spaces.
For those looking further details, pre-game stats, or someone to discuss the forum with can reach out to the division directly. They’ve got a line open at 954-357-8100. Before the forum, attendees can join a special meeting of the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board starting at 6 p.m., as reported to their official website. Usually, these sessions are reserved on designated Fridays at 7:30 a.m.
Engagement sessions like this are growing more common as civic bodies attempt to get the community more involved in decision-making. The Parks and Recreation Division is all about transparent processes and hearing from the community.
