The Citizen

Roanoke is planning to make its largest most diverse investment in the park system’s infrastructure in the past 20 years.

The City of Roanoke made the announcement Wednesday, stating that the Department of Parks and Recreation is set to invest more than $2.3 million in the park system. The investment will focus on deferred maintenance items.

“Parks are a critical and essential public service. From promoting community wellness and quality family time to improving environmental quality and connecting with nature, parks help build a better, more livable community for all city residents,” said Director of Parks and Recreation Michael Clark.

While the funding won’t satisfy the full list of needs across the park system, it marks a major step for the City of Roanoke.

Here is a breakdown of areas the money will go toward:
