🌿 New Strategic Plan, New Direction! 🌿

Fayette County Parks & Trails is excited to share our new 3‑Year Strategic Plan! This plan outlines priorities and goals to guide park and trail improvements, strengthen what we have, and plan intentionally for the future.

📸 A brief overview of the plan can be viewed in the images below.

A special thank you to Ohio State - Fayette County Extension's Jennifer Eggleton for championing the heavy lift behind this effort—her leadership, coordination, and commitment were critical to bringing this plan together.

We’re grateful to everyone involved and look forward to putting this roadmap into action for our community.
