Looking Forward, A Commission's Perspective <br />The Commission recommends that a survey of County residents be conducted to gather <br />public opinions about parks and recreation services. Based on these findings, the Commis- <br />sion supports an expanded emphasis on marketing and promotion of the parks and recrea- <br />tion facilities and services, including use of social media for interactive communication <br />with system users. <br />The Department has successfully secured federal and state grants to develop and improve <br />parks and recreation facilities. The Commission supports the fund development program <br />for Tamarack Nature Center Destination for Discovery and encourages the County to ex- <br />plore other alternative funding sources for improving facilities and services. <br />Ramsey County is a diverse community. The Commission supports efforts to provide ser- <br />vices for all people in the County. <br />The Commission recognizes the critical role of parks and recreation in promoting environ- <br />mental stewardship. The Tamarack Nature Center Destination for Discovery project pro- <br />vides an extraordinary opportunity to reconnect children and families with nature. <br />Keller Golf Course is a County landmark with a rich history of national, state and regional <br />significance. The Commission supports redevelopment of the facility in a manner that <br />maintains its traditional character, enhances public services, reflects current best practices, <br />continues the emphasis on environmental stewardship and improves playability. <br />
