Play Xenia

Play Xenia is a comprehensive recreation needs assessment and action plan for Xenia.

Play Xenia grew out of X-Plan, the City’s comprehensive plan adopted in 2013. During the development of X-Plan, Xenia citizens identified recreation as a top priority, including ideas such as a potential recreation center, more recreation-oriented businesses, and improvements to various parks as priorities. Play Xenia identifies Xenia’s needs on a more detailed level and provides an implementation plan with cost estimates for tangible improvements.
