(A) To be successful in planning for enhanced and new recreation facilities, parks, open space and trails in the borough, it is important to establish the mission of the recreation planners in the borough and develop a vision of what these elements will be like in the future. The borough’s recreation planners will be able to communicate to governing bodies, planning commissions, municipal staffs and the general public what the purpose for recreation planning is (the mission), where it wants to go (the vision) and how it can get there (goals) accomplished through recommendations and implementation strategies. This process is important to developing support for new programs, special events and facilities.
