Get involved

To ensure residents have equitable access to greenspace, the City of Vaughan is undertaking a study called the Greenspace Strategic Plan. The plan will evaluate the current state of Vaughan’s local parks and greenspaces, and provide strategies and recommendations to guide future planning, design, implementation and management of our greenspaces.
