West Chester Borough is creating a master plan for its 13 public parks. Borough council has budgeted $100,000 for the project and will hire a consultant who will be charged with writing grant applications and finding some of the funding needed to pay their own fee. A major plan update will address capital improvements and everything parks and recreation related, according to Keith Kurowski, borough parks director. The plan will consider how best to maintain staffing, activities and programs, and add new parks. Stormwater management, erosion and runoff will all be examined. The borough intends to engage the public in providing input. No parks master plan has been undertaken in the borough in more than 10 years.
