The Town of Leland invites residents to share their ideas and feedback on the future of parks and recreation in Leland during two open houses on Oct. 28 from 3 to 6 p.m. at Town Hall, located at 102 Town Hall Drive. Residents can learn about the Town’s parks and recreation priorities during the Parks, Recreation, and Open Space (PROS) Master Plan Open House and the Loblolly Park Master Plan Open House.
The PROS Plan Open House will give residents an opportunity to learn about current recreational offerings and share ideas for future parks, facilities, and amenities in Leland. Community input will help shape the PROS Plan, which will guide the Town’s parks and recreation priorities for the next 10 years.
The Loblolly Park Master Plan Open House will showcase the proposed plan for the Loblolly Park and give residents a chance to provide feedback. Located off Long Pine Drive, the future park spans just over 32 acres. Proposed amenities include a disc golf course, which would create new recreational opportunities for residents and visitors while supporting tournaments, community events, and partnerships with local organizations and businesses.
Town Council and the Parks and Recreation Board will also hold two special meetings on Oct. 29 to discuss the plans. At 6 p.m., Town Council and the Board will discuss the PROS Plan, followed by a 7:30 p.m. meeting focused on the Loblolly Park Master Plan. Residents will have an opportunity to provide public comment during the Loblolly Park meeting.
