City of Centralia hosting first open house for updating parks plan

Nov. 1—Centralia residents are invited to help shape the city's parks plan as city staff are moving ahead with updating it by holding an open house even to gather public input.

Anyone interested can attend the open house, which will be held on Monday, Nov. 13, at Fort Borst Park kitchen No. 2 from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. according to a news release from the city.

"This is a drop-in event where the public can learn more about what's in the draft plan so far and share their ideas with the parks board and staff," the release stated.

The parks plan dictates city staff decisions revolving around parks, trails, natural areas, open spaces and historic cemeteries in Centralia.
