Parks Master Plan


The Township of Adjala-Tosorontio Parks Master Plan was created to ensure that our system of parks, trails, and outdoor spaces meet residents' needs. The Plan considers community input, demographic changes, emerging activities, and asset condition to help prioritize improvements and identify future requirements.

Parks are the centre of our communities – the places where we play, unwind, and connect. Recognizing this, the Parks Master Plan:

  1. provides guidance and direction for the design and outfitting of new parks in residential growth areas;
  2. includes a prioritized list of playground replacement projects;
  3. identifies potential park redevelopment opportunities for each municipal park, with a commitment to accessibility and activities for users of all ages;
  4. promotes and supports the expansion of trails within parks and future growth areas;
  5. examines the need for outdoor recreation facilities and recommends the provision of additional basketball courts, tennis/pickleball courts, outdoor fitness equipment, and sports fields (longer-term);
  6. encourages the preparation of a business plan for an outdoor covered multi-use court that can be used for activities, events, and programs across all seasons;
  7. proposes the expansion of year-round programming and events in parks, in partnership with the community;
  8. supports the regular engagement of the community on potential programming and animation of parks; and
  9. proposes a broader range of park acquisition tools and funding sources to help implement the plan – this Plan supports the Township’s ability to be “grant-ready” as funding.

The detailed report can be found under “Documents”. A shorter Executive Summary and Recommendations report is also available for review.
