Public Input Meetings for Parks, Recreation & Sports Tourism Master Plan

Help craft the future of recreation in Hickory. The City of Hickory is currently working to update its existing parks and recreation master plan to reflect the needs and desires of citizens today while planning thoughtfully for the future.

A series of public input meetings will be held at various locations throughout the community to gather feedback and ideas from residents for the master plan update. Two meetings were held in May and two additional public input meetings will be held this month on the following dates:

• Monday, June 13: 4:30-6:30 p.m. at Hickory City Hall
• Tuesday, June 14: 4:30-6:30 p.m. at the Kiwanis Park Picnic Shelter

This is your opportunity to let city leaders know what types of amenities and programs you would like to see in your community!
