Interactive map provides real-time project updates; new survey invites community input to help shape future improvements
BRAMPTON, ON (July 30, 2025) – As one of Canada’s fastest-growing cities, Brampton is taking a bold step toward smarter and more transparent urban planning with the launch of two initiatives to better connect residents with the future of their parks and recreation spaces.
New interactive Parks and Recreation Construction Map
The City of Brampton is putting real-time project information at residents’ fingertips with the launch of a new interactive Parks
and Recreation Construction Map. This digital tool brings transparency and convenience to the planning and delivery of parks and recreation infrastructure.

The interactive map allows residents to explore the status of parks and recreation projects city-wide, with updates provided as each project reaches key milestones. This tool reflects Brampton’s commitment to transparency, digital innovation and engaging residents in the growth and development of their city. From new playgrounds and splash pads to revitalized recreation centres and walkways, users can search by neighbourhood or project type to stay informed on the work happening around them.
Projects are organized into four categories:
- Park – New Development (e.g. splash pads, outdoor rinks, fitness equipment)
- Park – Revitalization (e.g. playground replacements, trail and court upgrades)
- Recreation – New Development (e.g. new recreation centres, youth hubs, community parks)
- Recreation – Revitalization (e.g. facility renovations and amenity repairs)
Currently, there are more than 80 parks and recreation projects underway across the city, with more planned in the months and years ahead. They include but are not limited to Chris
Gibson Recreation Centre, Cassie
Campbell Field Hockey Multisport Training Dome, playground replacements, shade shelter installations and sport courts enhancements.

In addition to the construction map, the City has also launched a new public survey inviting residents to share their ideas for future park upgrades and amenities. This initiative ensures resident feedback directly informs how future investments are planned and prioritized, creating more welcoming, inclusive and functional public spaces.
Open until December 1, 2025, the survey asks residents to identify the features they would like to see added or improved in their neighbourhood parks. All respondents will be entered for a chance to win a prize. Visit brampton.ca/parksplanning to take the survey and have your say.
Both the interactive map and survey support Brampton’s
Parks and Recreation Master Plan (PRMP), a 15-year roadmap for delivering high-quality parks, open spaces and recreational amenities. Recently updated as part of a five-year review, the PRMP identifies key growth areas and makes recommendations to ensure Brampton’s infrastructure keeps pace with its booming population and diverse community needs.
