East Lansing has slow progress as officials try to improve parks
|
The City of East Lansing is just over one year into a five-year plan that aims to improve parks and recreational facilities in the city, but not much progress has been made towards their end goals.. “We didn’t have much in terms of capital investment,” said East Lansing Director of Parks and Recreation Tim McCaffrey. “We focused most of our attention on continuing the operation of the department over the last year. So not a lot in terms of investment like upgrading equipment and parks and things like that but more of maintaining over the last 12 months.”
The East Lansing Parks, Recreation Open Space and Greenways plan was adopted by the East Lansing City Council in February 2015. The plan shows details of how the city hopes to invest in and improve its parks and recreational facilities by the year 2019.
