FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — The City of Fayetteville invites citizens and other interested persons or groups to a series of drop-in style public input opportunities regarding capital improvement projects. Parks staff will be available to answer questions and record ideas. Input opportunities will be located at the following locations and times:

• Saturday, April 1 from 9 to 11 a.m. – Arvest Bank outdoor plaza (75 N. East Street)
• Monday, April 3 from 9 to 11 a.m. – Fayetteville Public Library foyer (401 W. Mountain Street)
• Saturday, April 10 from 9 to 11 a.m. – Kessler Mountain Regional Park concession stand building near soccer fields (2600 W. Judge Cummings Road)

 
Ideas and suggestions will be collated and prioritized by Parks and Recreation staff. The information will then be incorporated into the citywide 2018-2022 Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) which is submitted to City Council for review and approval later this year. Information about the current CIP plan can be viewed online here. Current and recently completed park planning projects can be found in this section of the City’s website.
