Do the recommendations for Ficklen Island, Old Mill Park, and Alum Spring Park make sense?

The City of Fredericksburg's Parks, Recreation & Events Department is developing site-based master plans for three places within the park's system: Old Mill Park; Ficklen Island; and Alum Spring Park. These plans, an outgrowth of the Citywide 2021 Parks and Recreation Master Plan, will provide specific recommendations for enhancements and capital improvements over the next 20 years.

The planning process is wrapping up. Please complete this questionnaire and let us know if you support the recommendations, and if so, what you think should happen 1st, 2nd, and 3rd.
