Background |
Recreation and parks facilities, programs, and services play a vital role in our community and in the lives of our residents. To provide direction to maintain these important community assets over the next ten years, the City of Pickering is preparing a Recreation & Parks Master Plan as approved at the Council meeting of October 17, 2016. This process will provide the City with up-to-date insight on community needs, and effective ways to provide facilities and deliver programs. The master plan will be an update of the 2002 Recreation & Parks Master Plan; view the Strategic Plan Report and the Technical Plan Report. The community engagement period is now complete. Thank you to everyone who participated! Over the past few months, residents and user groups provided input to inform the master planning process through a number of opportunities including Open House, Public Input Sessions, Pop-Up Event, Random Household Telephone Survey, and User Group Survey. Written submissions were also received.
Skateboard StrategyThe City of Pickering has initiated the development of a Skateboard Park Strategy that will guide decision-making on existing and future skateboard park needs.
