Newton County Recreation Survey - Recreation Master Plan Update

Newton County is presently preparing an Update to the Recreation Master Plan. This Update will assist the Recreation Commission in making informed decisions regarding improvements to existing parks, acquiring land for new parks, developing new parks, providing greenspace, and developing linkages between parks and activity centers. We value your opinions, so please take the time to complete this survey and ask your neighbors and friends to do the same. Please be sure to answer ALL of the questions – failure to do so could corrupt the tabulation process!
