The program was criticized by parents in recent weeks, with rallies and complaints about what they believe has been a lack of transparency in the process leading up to the school district announcing the new program. With multiple avenues for public comment, the Rec and Parks master plan is in contrast to the recently enacted Middle School Choice program, allowing students to select their middle school based on subject area interest. A final master plan is set for spring, Stowers said. The city plans to have a draft of the master plan by the end of the year or early January that will then be vetted and subject to a public hearing, Stowers said.
The workshops were set up as roundtable discussions with up to 10 topics dealing with recreation and sports, including trails and city-run sports facilities, Stowers said. The presentation of the master plan will then be presented to the Common Council in December, according to city documents.

Work began on the master plan shortly before Stowers joined the city in September 2021, he said.
