Making Vaughan’s parks ‘smarter’!

Coming soon to a park near you – SmartParks, an exciting new pilot project that allows parks visitors to access amenity and facility bookings, report a problem such as litter, and make a service request with the scan of a QR code on their smartphone!

This new initiative designed to connect residents with City services will be available in the following parks:

• Chatfield District Park
• Dufferin District Park
• North Maple Regional Park
• North Thornhill Community Park
• Sonoma Heights District Park

The QR codes are located on lamp posts near entrances or amenities and fencing by gateway entrances to sports facilities. Accessing the City’s online services when out and about has never been easier!

For more information on the City’s SmartParks pilot project, visit vaughan.ca/SmartParks.

SmartParks reinforces the City’s commitment to Citizen Experience and Operational Performance, which are strategic priorities in the 2018-2022 Term of Council Service Excellence Strategic Plan. The City is committed to leveraging data-driven decision-making and promoting innovation and continuous improvement.

When enjoying the outdoors in Vaughan, take pictures and videos and share them on social media with the hashtag #PlayVaughanLocal. Let your followers know there is plenty of fun to be had in Vaughan’s beautiful outdoors – just steps away from home. Visit vaughan.ca/PlayVaughanLocal for information on all outdoor activities within the city, such as park amenities and trails.

It’s important that everyone does their part to help keep parks clean – by putting trash where it belongs. Dispose of your items in the waste and recycling bins provided by the City in public spaces. If they are full, take your garbage home with you. If you see an instance of littering or dumping, report it to Access Vaughan at 905-832-2281 or accessvaughan@vaughan.ca.
