In 2010, City Council approved the development of a City-wide Parks Plan based on seven guiding principles: parks and trails as city infrastructure, equitable access for all residents, supporting a diversity of uses, nature in the city, environmental stewardship, place making and community engagement. The Parks Plan will guide acquisition, development, management and operation of the system of public parkland in the City of Toronto over a five-year period.
The Parks Plan will be developed based on seven guiding principles. For more information on the development of the Parks Plan, please refer to the Council-approved report.
- Thank you to those who participated in the Parks Plan consultations. We heard from more than 4000 people who generated over 11,000 comments about Toronto's parks at 4 public, 5 stakeholder and 8 focus group consultation sessions and through the online survey. We are currently analyzing the information gathered. Your feedback will serve as the basis for a report to be presented to City Council in 2012.
