Bob Good of Pashek Associates talks to Peters Township residents about how to transform their parks and recreational space.

McMURRAY If the more than 40 Peters Township residents who attended the latest round of public meetings on the townships new 10-year plan for its parks, recreation and green space had their way, there would be an indoor and outdoor swimming pool, a disc golf course and ample room for young entrepreneurs to open lemonade stands.

Or as Chris Posti, a Venetia resident, suggested at the meeting, just keep the townships green spaces as they are unspoiled.

Welcome to Comprehensive Planning 101, Peters Township style.

Peters is in the midst of gathering a wish list from its citizens on a new plan for its six parks and recreation space. The township is spending $60,000 in this endeavor and has hired Pashek Associates, a landscape architectural firm based on Pittsburghs North Side, to bring the myriad ideas to life.

As we put together the comprehensive plan, we need to determine where we are now, where we want to be and how we get there, Pasheks Bob Good told the residents at a community meeting last week at Peters Township Public Library.
