Master Plan Revisions / Disc Golf Course Planning <br /> <br />In the decade since the creation of the master plan by the Blackwood Farm Park <br />Master Plan Committee and its adoption by the Board, a few changes have <br />become necessary that will require recommended revisions to the master plan. <br />These changes would be brought back for Board approval in early-2018. <br /> <br />In summary, the changes that will be reflected in the master plan include <br />a) Changes to the entrance and parking areas (as discussed in Section 1 <br />above); <br />b) The location of a disc golf course as a new amenity for the park, to be <br />located in the north-central and northwestern areas of the park; <br />c) Addition of the Children’s Discovery Trail as a new amenity; <br />d) Refinement of the amphitheatre location; <br />e) Refinement of the planned Nature/Learning Center concept (please see <br />Section 4 below); and <br />f) Elimination of a planned road and parking area along the northern park <br />boundary, to help buffer adjoining homes. <br /> <br />Disc Golf Course <br />As discussed in previous CIP’s and included in the adopted FY 2017-22 CIP, a <br />disc golf course is proposed for Blackwood Farm Park.
