Council Discusses Vision for Lincoln Park Master Plan and Future Improvements

The Town Council of Brownsburg, Indiana, convened on August 28, 2025, to discuss the Lincoln Park Master Plan, which had been tabled from a previous meeting. The primary focus was to clarify the long-term vision for Lincoln Park and to determine the next steps for its development.

Amber, a staff member, presented a report that included discussion questions aimed at aligning the council's vision for the park. She emphasized the need for a clear understanding of whether the proposed vision aligns with the council's goals. If the current vision is not satisfactory, she requested guidance on alternative plans for the property. Additionally, Amber outlined a baseline improvement recommendation for phase one of the project, suggesting that certain improvements would be necessary regardless of the final direction chosen.

Council members engaged in a dialogue about the park's history and its evolving purpose. One member recounted the park's transition from an outdoor center to the consideration of an indoor-outdoor aquatic center. This shift was prompted by feedback indicating that the facility should cater to a broader range of activities, including fitness, basketball, pickleball, and volleyball, rather than focusing solely on swimming.

The discussion highlighted the importance of community input in shaping the future of Lincoln Park. The council is expected to continue deliberating on the vision and potential improvements, ensuring that the park meets the diverse needs of Brownsburg residents. Further steps will be taken to gather feedback and refine the plan as the council moves forward.
