Parks and Facilities Overwhelmed Due to Rapid Population Growth
Population growth is a sign of a thriving community, but it also puts strain on public resources. Parks, trails, and recreational facilities are now struggling to accommodate demand, leading to overcrowding, parking issues, and limited program availability. Residents are frustrated, and if the issue isn’t addressed, the town risks losing support for its public spaces.
This strategy takes a two-pronged approach: (1) Short-term solutions to manage congestion and maximize current resources, and (2) Long-term planning to expand facilities and create a sustainable recreation infrastructure. By balancing immediate relief with future-focused development, you can ensure that parks and recreation services keep pace with Friendly’s growth.
