Community Spaces Plan

As a joint project between Parks Infrastructure Planning and Development, Recreation Services and Vaughan Public Libraries, the CSP will provide strategies and recommendations for the next five years (2024-2029) and a long-range outlook for the next 10 to 25 years (2034-2051) by:

• assessing progress made since the 2018 Active Together Master Plan.
• reviewing current needs and trends for indoor and outdoor facilities and libraries. 
• examining funding, provision standards, maintenance cycles and levels of service for existing and future facilities.
• focusing on providing the most value to residents, while ensuring the long-term sustainability of safe, accessible and community-responsive parks and facilities.

Get involved

It’s vital that Vaughan’s park and open space amenities, recreation programs and facilities, and library services reflect community needs. That’s why the City is seeking your perspectives and input to shape this long-term plan. There will be several opportunities for you to get involved from September 2024 to April 2025, before a final report is presented for Council’s consideration in June 2025.

Check back in early September for more details.
