Roanoke County's Department of Parks, Recreation & Tourism is now embarking on a comprehensive Master Plan that will review the recreational needs, facilities and programs it offers to Roanoke County citizens.

The goal of the Master Plan is to examine Roanoke County's Parks and Recreation & Tourism Department and create a working plan that will guide the developement and improvement of facilities and programs for the next 15 years. A critical part of the Master Plan process is gathering community imput through a series of five public forum-type meetings to receive comments and suggestions from the community.

The South County Softball League encourages everyone who has an interest in Roanoke County Parks, Recreation and Tourism programs and facilities to come to one of the Community Meetings listed below.

This is an exciting opportunity to have your opinions and suggestions heard, and to help shape the future of parks and recreation in Roanoke County.
