Community feedback shaped strategies such as the Parks, Open Space and Recreation Strategy (POSRS) and the Community Improvement Plan (CIP), both of which call for stronger recreation opportunities, better access to public spaces, and more investment in the public realm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis is a new chapter for Dwight,\u201d said Mayor Terry Glover. \u201cResidents helped set the direction through our plans and strategies, and now they can help shape the design and features of this new park. Community input will be considered alongside technical analysis and Council direction.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 6.86-acre property sits within walking distance of the core of Dwight, with access from both Highway 60 and Dwight Beach Road. The site offers a rare mix of visibility, a central location, and proximity to the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Township plans to hire a consultant in&nbsp;<strong>late 2026<\/strong>&nbsp;to support the full planning and design process based on community feedback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Residents can now share their input through a survey on the Township\u2019s online engagement platform. The page also offers more information about the project, an interactive map of the site, and a full FAQ.
