GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
FOR PARK BOARD
1989-1990
One of the first objectives for the City of Colleyville
Park Board will be to set some goals for the upcoming

these goals will be attainable. Below are goals in which
the Park~Board may wish to advise the Parks and Recreation
Department in 1989 and 1990.

diverse needs of the citizens of Colleyville.

B) Long term planning of a parks system.
C) Recreation opportunities and programs for all
ages of the community.
2) Provide a master plan for the Parks and Recreation
system which will serve the citizens of Colleyville. A
master plan is a ~,uide for orderly development. It is
a collection of information which illustrates needs and
states desirable objectives, The plan must be flexible.
3) Assist in the coordination of the use of athletic
fields which are requested by several athletic associations.
Requests for use of the fields are in much greater demand
than the availability.
4) Recommend city park ordinances keeping in mind that
the adoption of the ordinances is the prerogative of the
City Council.
5) Establish a joint use agreement with the Grapevine/
Colleyville School District. A joint use agreement will
allow the Parks and Recreation Department to provide
