Burlingame Parks & Rec Center Renovation Process Beginning
Here's an announcement from the Burlingame Parks & Rec Center...our community center will be getting a new overhaul soon!
Burlingame Community Center Master Plan Update
The project management team (PMT) is excited to begin the first phase of the community outreach which will include focus group meetings. Each focus group meeting will work to identify the needs and concerns of a specific group of community members. The meetings will be interactive discussions designed to encourage participants to share their preferences, provide information and share their insights about the community with the planning team. The focus groups will have approximately 18-25 participants and will be by invitation. Participants will need to commit approximately 2 hours to participate in a focus group meeting. The proposed list of focus groups is the following:
1. Seniors
2. Teens
3. Neighbors
4. Families with pre-school aged children
5. School-age parents/PT A/School educators
In addition to the focus groups and community meetings, the PMT will also be interviewing, either by phone or in person, key stakeholders in the community to gain a further understanding of the community needs and interests.
If you are interested in participating in one of the focus groups listed above, please provide your contact information and focus group interest to Joleen Helley at 650-558-7323 or jhelley@burlingame.org before February 8, 2013.
We anticipate this phase will begin in February and continue through April 2013. In addition to the outreach being conducted during the needs assessment phase of the project, we will also have broader community meetings in May/June and in September in which the entire community can participate.
We are excited to move forward with the next phase of the Community Center Master Plan and appreciate your participation.
More updates to come....
