PARKS MASTER
PLAN UPDATE
www.bluespringsgov.com/parksmasterplan
Since December 2015, the Blue Springs Parks and Recreation Department has been working with GreenPlay
LLC, a national consulting service, to develop Blue Springs' first ever Comprehensive Parks Master Plan.
The process has involved meetings with the public, community-wide surveys, stakeholder meetings, staff
engagement and evaluation of current recreational facilities. Data from citizens' surveys completed earlier
this year along with additional findings was reported at a public meeting in early spring to allow residents to
review and comment on information received.
At this stage of planning, details
collected from previous outreach
are being incorporated into a
database that can be combined
with Geographic Information
System (GIS) maps to make
comparison charts and standards
for future facilities and growth.
This Parks Master Plan plays a
vital role in shaping a successful
community and continued input
from community members is
necessary to shape the vision
for Blue Springs' parks and help
create a unique sense of place for
residents and business owners.
Completion of the current plan is
expected in late 2016.
4
Residents indicated that maintenance of
current park facilities is the number one
priority followed by adequate lighting of
parks and trails, replacement of older park
amenities, and addressing the safety and
security of parks.
When it comes to expanding or adding to our
park facilities, resident feedback has shown
an emphasis on improved park amenities, trail
and path connectivity, rugged trails, splash
pads/water play and a aquatics facility.

DID YOU KNOW?
The Blue Springs Parks and Recreation Department works
closely with the Park Commission to develop and enhance
the 21 parks located throughout Blue Springs and 641
acres of parks and open spaces in our community.
The Park Commission consists of nine members who are

All meetings are public and are held at 6 p.m. at the
Fieldhouse on the first Tuesday of each month.

MY STORY
Paula Bankston, Blue Springs Fieldhouse Member
Paula Bankston
is 63 years young
and has been a
member of the Blue
Springs Fieldhouse
since its opening
in October 2015. "I
enjoy the variety
and affordability
of instructor led
classes offered
throughout the day;
there are classes
to accommodate
each person's
fitness need," says
Paula. Her two
favorite classes are
Total Body with
instructor Ambrah
and Step with
instructor Cindy. “It
was challenging when I first started and I may have only lost six
pounds since January but I am toned, I have back muscles and I
even have biceps!" Paula reaches an average of 8,000 steps by the
end of the Step class and considers this a huge accomplishment
"It's nice to have the ability to modify the classes, but I don’t, I
have too much pride," says Paula playfully.
Paula takes advantage of the state-of-the art equipment and the
Fieldhouse by using the Fit3D and InBody Analyzer scans offered
with her membership. The analysis provided by this equipment
will show the changes that have taken place in her body even if
she hasn't seen a huge difference on the scale. “I tell everybody
I can about the Fieldhouse, to share my story of the impact it has
had on my life and try to encourage everyone to come join!"

MY STORY
Werner Henze, Volunteer for the Blue Springs Car Cruises
Werner Henze has
served as a volunteer
announcer and
deejay for Blue
Springs Car Cruises
for the past four
years.
When did your personal interest in classic cars begin?
I have always loved cars, especially Mustangs. In the mid-60’s, I
remember Carroll Shelby selling his Shelby Ford Mustang GT 350 for
$4,547; that car now sells for $180,000. I am the proud and original
owner of a 1965 Ford Mustang. Besides maintaing it for 51 years, I
have added 4-wheel disc brakes, 4- speed transmission and rack &
pinion steering.
Why do you take the time to volunteer?
I was a Bread Salesmen for over 30 years. When I retired, I needed
something to do that involved interaction with other people. It was
a win-win combining my passion for music and cars!
What other volunteer work do you do?
For Blue Springs Downtown Alive! I deejay and run sound for the
annual Piccadilly Gala in the Spring. For Blue Springs Parks &
Recreation I deejay and run sound for the annual Legends Luncheon
providing both karaoke music for the guest performers and tracks
from the original artist; I also help with the annual Mayors Christmas
Tree Lighting. As a member of the Mid-American Mustang Club, we
host the North Kansas City Car Cruise each month and I provide the
music for that Cruise too.
My wife and I tried something new recently and we both participated
in the Intergenerational Program with the Blue Springs School
District.
Why do you think the Blue Springs Car Cruises are
important?
Besides being a great outlet for car owner enthusiasts to get
together, the general public can attend for free. It is fun for them
to walk around and view the cars and visit with the owners. And
believe me, the owners love to talk about their cars! It's very family
friendly - I see mothers with strollers and families out with their
dogs.

MY STORY
Meet Alan Fletcher, Vesper Hall Volunteer
Alan Fletcher has volunteered at Vesper Hall for the last 4 years. Alan started
visiting Vesper after retiring in 2005. When he saw a need during the lunch hour,
he registered to volunteer. Alan assists with room setups, cleaning banquet tables
and decorating during special events and holidays. “Vesper Hall is real friendly. It’s a
great place to meet and visit” says Alan.
Alan, father of three, has three grandchildren with one on the way. He enjoys reading
westerns, following the local news, attending Royals’ baseball games and making
birdhouses.
Volunteers at Vesper Hall fulfill a variety of needs such as delivery of meals to the
home-bound, working with the public at the front desk and helping with daily lunch
preparation. Volunteers also host various card games, exercise classes and craft
classes.
Those interested in volunteering can call Vesper Hall at 816-228-0181.

MY STORY
Meet Bev Lewis,
host for
Bridge Game
Sessions held at
Vesper Hall.
How often do you play Bridge ?
I host and play bridge at Vesper Hall twice a week and have
for over eight years. There is also a group of four that I have
played together with for 62 years; we still gather monthly at
each other’s homes for a game of bridge.
When can I play at Vesper Hall?
Bridge is offered on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays with a
12:15 p.m. start time on each day. Part of my job as a host
is to ensure that all participants have a table where they can
play and that each table is full. In order to do this, I maintain
a substitution list and make phone calls to ensure tables are
filled on Tuesdays and Fridays. Monday bridge is open.
How does someone start playing at Vesper Hall?
Contact the Vesper Hall Staff (816-228-0181) and let them
know you would like to play. They will in turn contact me
and I will give you a phone call and work with you to get you
in the game! This is not a game you can learn in one session
but it is a fun game that you can enjoy for a lifetime!
