The city finally has a master plan for McGaw Park, located on Lacy Road about halfway between Fish Hatchery Road and County Hwy. MM.

As a community park, it’s expected to rival McKee Farms Park in the scope of its amenities, although it will provide a different mix of experiences.

The council asked for a master plan more than a year after rejecting a proposal to demolish the existing park shelter and replace it with one costing about $550,000.  The plan will be phased in when funds become available as the surrounding area is developed.
