Locust Grove Community Survey Parks and Trails

The Town of Locust Grove is asking for your input to help shape the future of parks, trails, and recreational amenities in our community. Your feedback will help identify priorities for projects included in the Parks and Trails Master Plan, such as a Safe Route to School Trail, splash pad, community garden, and pickleball courts.

This survey is open to all Locust Grove residents and parents or guardians of students in the Locust Grove School District. Whether you participated in a previous survey or are sharing your thoughts for the first time, we invite you to complete this survey. Your responses will help demonstrate community support for these projects and strengthen future grant and funding applications. Thank you for helping create a healthier, more active, and connected Locust Grove!
