The City of Roseburg has launched an online community survey seeking input on a master plan update to help shape the future of Stewart Park.

A city release said Roseburg residents and others who use the city’s premiere park and its various amenities are being asked to give feedback to help city officials understand what people value most about Stewart Park, how the park is used today and what improvements they believe could make the park even better.

The digital survey will be available through Friday, December 19th. The goal of the survey is to reach as many people as possible to get input from a range of individuals and interest groups.

Stewart Park’s current master plan is 25 years old. Thanks to grant funding from Umpqua Health Alliance, Roseburg Parks and Recreation staff are initiating a master plan update to guide the park’s development for the next 20 to 25 years.

The release said parks staff, Thrive Umpqua and other community partners collaborated to win a $195,000 UHA Community Health Improvement Plan grant to help promote Douglas County resident’s health and well-being through several projects. A total of $25,000 will be used for Phase One of the Stewart Park Master Plan update, which involves the survey.

City staff have contracted with planning consultants from MIG (Moore, Iacofano, Goltsman), a company that worked with the city on the current Comprehensive Parks Master Plan in 2008. The city and MIG are now initiating work on a Stewart Park Master Plan update by undertaking the community survey.
