Are you a regular visitor to our Village of Webster parks? An occasional visitor? Do you like taking your kids to the playgrounds or your dog to run around? Do you enjoy the Friday night concerts at the gazebo every summer?
These are some of the questions that the Village of Webster Parks Committee would like to ask you, to get a better handle on who uses our parks, how they’re used, and how they might be improved.
The Village of Webster maintains six parks within the village boundaries, covering more than 22 acres:
- Milton R. Case Memorial Park, 14 acres of woodland with nature trails with entrances off of South Ave. to the east and Wood St. on the west;
- Wilmorite Recreation Area on Iroquois St., which features playground equipment and a baseball field;
- Schantz Park on State Rd., with an entrance off of Hawley Dr., with a basketball court, tennis courts, baseball fields and playground equipment;
- Veterans Memorial Park on North Ave., which has the gazebo and veterans monument;
- Harmony Park off of Phillips Rd., which features the Village Band Shell and a big lawn; and
- North Ave. Pocket Park, which is that little green space with the gazebo at the corner of North Ave. and Rt. 104.
The Parks Committee has launched a community-wide survey to gather feedback about how residents engage with these spaces and identify needs and opportunities for improvements. Village and non-village residents are being encouraged to fill out the survey (it takes 5 to 10 minutes) to help guide future park planning. Later this spring, the committee hopes to hold a series of neighborhood listening sessions to give residents even more chances to express their opinions about our village parks.

I don’t use any of the parks except veterans memorial park when. T
Yeah, same here. You should fill out the survey anyway, because they’ll be interested in knowing that.
