Your parks. Your recreation. Your voice.

We’ve created a draft 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.

We'd love your feedback on the draft plan

Earlier 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 we're presenting to council.

The finalized Parks and Recreation Masterplan will be presented to council on October 3, 2023. Find the full council packet here. the community is invited to attend in person or watch online.

Visit our main website for updates after council approval expected to come toward the end of October. https://guelph.ca/plans-and-strategies/parks-and-recreation-master-plan/

    Funding to grow our parks system as Guelph continues to grow comes in part from development fees we often refer to as 'Growth Revenue'. In particular, Parkland Dedication funds a significant portion of new parks across the city. Not all park upgrades and additions to parks are covered by growth revenue, and so outcomes from the Parks and Recreation Master Plan may have other budget implications.

    Funds for our recreation programming, services and facilities come through a number sources including growth revenue, user fees, project grants, government funding and taxes. Outcomes from the Parks and Recreation Master Plan may have implications on future budgets for recreation as well.

    Your voice matters. Engaging with us now in the Parks and Recreation Master Plan also makes an impact in our multi-year budget process.
