Introduction
The York Township Comprehensive Recreation,
Parks & Greenways Plan creates a vision
for the future, not merely a tune-up for
what exists today. It defines the Township’s
action plan for, parks, greenways, trails,
and recreation in the 21st century. By
developing a strategic approach, York
Township is establishing an orderly framework
for growing its parks and recreation system
in a strategic fashion. Limited resources,
a growing population, and increasing demands
on parks and recreation combine to show
that
a broad timeframe for plan implementation
is essential. While not everything can
be accomplished at once, York Township
is at a crossroads in its parks and recreation
history given the level of debate about
YTCC (the York Township Community Center)
and the pressing need to resolve major
issues regarding its operation and
future. Improvements will require that
hard decisions be made and carried out.
Commitment, time, and investment from
public and private partners are essential
in order to achieve the kind of community
people want York Township to be.
Plan Purpose and Goals
The purpose of the plan was to develop
a document that guides park and recreation
activities in York Township with the recognition
that parks and open space add to the quality
of life of a municipality and attracts
residents, businesses, and economic vitality
to a community. The plan should provide
direction and initiatives on protecting
open space, creating connections through
greenways and trails, improving recreation
and parks, and
providing a direction for YTCC.
