Have your say in the homestretch of the Parks and Recreation Master Plan by August 28

Your parks. Your recreation. Your voice.


Guelph, Ont., August 8, 2022 – Engagement for the Parks and Recreation Master Plan is underway until August 28. The final plan will guide parks and recreation growth over the next 10 years. Your insight is needed on:

 

We’ll use your feedback, alongside a review of emerging trends, data from comparator municipalities, and content from the recently approved Park Plan to begin developing the draft master plan. The draft plan will be available for community review in early 2023 after which we’ll take our findings and the final plan to Council.

About the Parks and Recreation Master Plan


Guelph is growing and changing. Our parks and recreation facilities need to change with it. The Parks and Recreation Master Plan will guide how we responsibly manage existing recreational facilities and amenities, and develop new ones, to meet Guelph’s growing and changing needs over the next 10 years. The master plan facilitates the City’s ability to build an equitable, strong, vibrant, safe and healthy community.
