Manhattan city commissioners decided to push back proposed changes to a parks and rec master plan after giving mixed feedback Tuesday.
The city government proposed adding two initiatives — the Riverfront MHK Conceptual Plan and the Flint Hills Discovery Center Sculpture Trail Plan — and updating plans for an indoor aquatic center with the results of a recent community survey.
If adopted into the Move MHK! Comprehensive Parks and Recreation Master Plan, officials would add those documents to the city’s website. Adopted in 2024, the master plan is a “living” document of community planning efforts that fall within the city’s goals. The amendment wouldn’t create new funding commitments or obligate the city to specific projects but would ensure these plans are considered in future community development discussions.
