About the Recreation & Playground Master Plan
Including programs, facilities, parks, and playgrounds, recreation services are highly valued by residents and contribute to the health and wellness of individuals, families, and the community itself. To ensure these services are optimized and to ensure the best use of resources, the Municipality of Greenstone is developing a Recreation & Playground Master Plan. This plan will set priorities and identify opportunities to address gaps in services and build on strengths with the goal of addressing current and future needs. The Master Plan will address indoor and outdoor facilities and spaces, playgrounds, and programs & events.
The Recreation & Playground Master Plan will be based on a thorough program of research that includes an examination and analysis of facilities, spaces, programs and events; community demographics; trends and leading practices in the provision of these services; and community contributors to recreation services. Community members will also be asked to share their thoughts.
Beginning in March, there will be opportunities for the public to provide their opinions and help shape the Master Plan. In addition to some community open houses, several surveys will be fielded to gather information from residents, organizations delivering recreation services, youth, and community contributors.
