Parkland & Recreation Facilities Strategies: Community Engagement
Toronto’s recreation facilities and parks offer communities spaces to play, connect, learn, exercise and celebrate. The Parkland Strategy and Parks and Recreation Facilities Plan (formerly the Facilities Master Plan) are 20-year plans that guide the growth and investment in these spaces across the city. Every five years, these plans are reviewed to ensure they continue to meet the changing needs and priorities of residents and reflect updates in population, policies and funding.

Phases
Present the updated Facilities Plan and Parkland Strategy to City Council for approval
Every five years, the City reviews the Facilities Plan and Parkland Strategy to reflect:
- the changing needs of residents
- the growing population
- changes to provincial legislation
- new policies and funding
- updated accessibility and environmental standards
- new and ongoing recreation studies (e.g. cricket, ice facilities, off-leash areas, pickleball and curling)
A multi-phase, city-wide community engagement process will inform the updates to both plans.
