Comprehensive Master Plan of Recreation & Parks Services in Bulloch County

The Bulloch County Board of Commissioners (herein after referring to as the County) is accepting proposals from qualified professional consultants for this project.

The purpose of this project is to develop a Comprehensive Recreation Master Plan for Bulloch County Recreation and Parks that will serve as a long-range guide for the development, enhancement, and management of recreational facilities, staff, programs, and services throughout the unincorporated areas of the county.

The objective of the plan is to assess current park assets, recreational programs, staffing levels, operations, and maintenance practices, and to identify future needs based on population growth, community trends, and public input.
