Spring is in the air and now footballs are in the air at BYU where coach Bronco Mendenhall and the Cougars started spring practice this afternoon.

This is a news release from Provo City.

Provo City is planning for the future of parks, recreation and trails in Provo.

In October 2011, the City began a nine-month process to develop a Parks and Recreation Master Plan.  This process is grounded in multiple forms of community input that is being utilized to develop the plan.  These include multiple public meetings, numerous focus groups and interviews, and a statistically-valid household survey.

The consulting team led by PROS Consulting, LLC, has been hired by the City to assist in organizing and facilitating the planning process, and to produce the final plan.   PROS Consulting is a specialized management consulting firm that uniquely serves public park and recreation all over the United States and internationally.  The PROS Consulting team members are former parks and recreation managers themselves, and are renowned for assisting communities to develop strategically ambitious and financial conservative parks and recreation systems.  The project team will utilize public input to identify the community’s prevailing needs, interests, values, and priorities related to parks, recreation, trails, and recreational fields for the next 10 years.
