Welcome to our Virtual Open House!
The City of Florence is working to develop a new Parks Master Plan for their 6 active parks:
Orleans Park, South Fork Park, Lincoln Woods Park, Kentaboo Park, Stringtown Park, and the Skate Park
The goal is to update and improve our parks with amenities that residents will enjoy for years to come.
As we consider potential improvements, we're seeking the Community’s input on those features you'd like to see.
We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts with us. Your feedback will be used to inform
and help guide the Parks Master Plan during the final phase of the planning process.
