The next phase of Ormond Beach’s parks and recreation master plan update has begun, and the city is asking residents to provide more feedback via an online survey.

The third phase of visioning entitles collecting citizen responses from ideas that emerged from the 1,100 survey responses Barth Associates, the consultant, collected in the second phase of the update process.

The survey includes images of which type of natural areas residents would enjoy more, the type of adult fitness and wellness programs they would like to see more of, as well as which city parks are in the most need of public wi-fi access.

The next public meeting for the master plan update is scheduled to take place next month at 6 p.m., Wednesday, Oct. 6, at the South Ormond Neighborhood Center, located at 176 Division Ave.

The current parks and recreation master plan is 15 years old.

Local anti-litter campaign

Dream Green Volusia has announced the creation of “Keep Volusia Clean,” a campaign that aims to garner public support for the county and cities applying anti-litter solutions and promotions.

According to a press release,  the organization will host presentations across Volusia County showcasing proactive examples and ways to pay for solutions to littering.

Additionally, the organization recently received a $3,300 grant from Surfing’s Evolution and Preservation Foundation. The funds went toward the installation of a watergoat, a marine debris collection device, in the canal behind Sica Hall in Holly Hill.
