Village of McFarland

Are you a bird watcher? Pickleball enthusiast? Expert picnic packer? No matter what activities you’re drawn to, if you’re interested in the future of McFarland’s parks and outdoor recreation spaces, we want to hear from you! The McFarland Parks Survey is open for responses through June 9th. Share your thoughts and experiences with us at https://lnkd.in/gR44dFpX. Results from this 10-15 minute survey will inform an update to the 2019 Outdoor Recreation & Open Space Plan. Updating this plan every five years ensures continued relevancy and can help our future park and trail projects remain eligible for state and federal grant opportunities. Thank you for your feedback!
