Parks & Natural Areas


Parks and Natural Areas 

The City undertakes short and long range parks and open space planning activities with a focus on supplying adequate parkland supply to support the recreational needs of residents. The Parks and Facility Planning section in the Planning, Design and Development Department are the primary group responsible for this wok, with the assistance of partner divisions in Planning Design and Development and the Community Services Department. The protection and assembly of natural areas across the City including valleyland, woodlot and other natural areas is also part of this work.
