Tiffin Comprehensive Plan – Updated 2018

Parks and Recreation Park System Summary Currently, the city’s park system is just short of meeting the population’s demand for recreation areas. The community-wide survey show favorable support for increased recreational opportunities in the city. As Tiffin’s population continues to grow, new parks and recreational activities must keep pace with development. It is the city’s goal to create a network of both larger and small neighborhood parks and open space throughout the community. Then, the new parks should be linked to the existing sections of town by trails and/or sidewalks. To assure adequate youth recreational opportunities, the city should designate a portion of each new regional park for active recreation. This includes neighborhood ball fields and practice fields for youth sports leagues. Recreation opportunities will continue to influence a family’s decision on where to live. Unfortunately, many communities pay limited attention to the recreational needs of its residents. Imaginative recreational opportunities can be both low cost and limited maintenance to the community. In turn, this investment should retain current residents and promote future growth. Expanded recreation opportunities should be a priority for Tiffin.
