Parks and Natural Areas

	Parkland Dedication The City assembles parks and other open space through both capital acquisitions and through the dedication of parkland or cash-in-lieu of parkland (CIL) under its parkland dedication by-law.
	Parkland Planning and Programming Beginning at the block plan stage, the Planning, Design and Development Department and the Community Services Department both take active roles in designing the layout of new parks based on the needs of the community.
	Pathways Planning Pathways are continually designed and constructed throughout the City of Brampton. This page includes Brampton's PathWays Master Plan, routing plans, and design specifications.
	Woodlands Through the development approvals process, the City protects woodlands through their acquisition and incorporation into the City’s parks and open space system. Woodlands in private ownership are also subject to protection under the City’s Woodlot Conservation By-law.
