Planning

Do you enjoy visiting Vaughan’s parks and greenspaces? If so, help us plan for their future by getting involved in the City of Vaughan’s Greenspace Strategic Plan!

This plan will evaluate the current state of Vaughan’s local parks and greenspaces – including pedestrian pathways, urban forests, valleys, wetlands, open space areas and naturalized areas – and provide strategies and recommendations to build, plan, design, construct and enhance these areas.

Now in the third and final phase of engagement, we’re sharing key components of the draft Greenspace Strategic Plan and seeking your input on the below themes before it’s finalized:

Improving greenspace connectivity: How we’ll strive to build connections between and within parks and greenspaces.
Growing our greenspace network: How we’ll prioritize the expansion of the greenspace network in areas of the city that need it most.
Diverse greenspace experiences: How we’ll provide amenities that create a cohesive greenspace system.

Here’s how you can get involved:
