Parks and Recreation Master Plan

We’ve created a Parks and Recreation Master Plan to guide the future of parks and recreation services and infrastructure. The plan presents a vision for the future, goals and objectives to meet Guelph’s needs. Informed by the Parks and Recreation Needs Assessment, the PRMP identifies what services and facilities we should be providing, when they will be required and how they should be funded.

Thank you Guelph for guiding the future of Parks and Recreation in our community!

Early in 2023 we drafted the Plan and the Parks and Recreation Needs Assessment based on engagement that has occurred in four phases starting in 2019 along with studies of other municipalities, research and best practices.

During the summer of 2023 we asked the community for feedback on the draft materials. Check out the summary of what we heard that helped us develop the plan.

The finalized Parks and Recreation Masterplan was presented to council and approved in October 2023. Find the full council packet here.
