RDG, a planning firm out of Des Moines, presented a summary to the Knoxville City Council following a survey into future needs of the Knoxville Recreation Center. 

Knoxville Parks and Recreation Director Brandon Nemmers noted that funds are currently available for some improvements at the East Park and Veteran’s Park.

A portion of the study by RDG showed there is interest for more walking trails. Other interests showed a need for more ball fields and soccer fields. There was also interest in adding a pickleball court and a disc golf course.
