PROS Plan

Parks, Recreation, Open Space & Senior Services Strategic Plan (PROS)

The Parks, Recreation, Open Space & Senior Services Plan (PROS) is a strategic plan that will direct the Department’s trajectory for the next decade. The plan will develop levels of service goals for parks, recreation and senior services. This will allow the Department to compare its performance against those goals and to other communities.

The plan relies on public input to prioritize the operations and development of the Ashland Parks & Recreation Department. There will be several opportunities to engage with the process.
