Fort Wayne, Ind –  Fort Wayne Parks and Recreation will host three open houses next week for the public to learn about a 10-year Comprehensive Planning project. There will be six stations where residents can provide input and interact with staff. These stations will ask questions about facilities, big ideas for parks, equity and more. The outcome of the plan will direct the park system planning for the next 10 years and will guide the parks department mission and goals to provide leisure opportunities and stewardship of our parks.
