BRAMPTON, ON (March 27, 2024)-Driven by its Parks and Recreation Master Plan (PRMP), the City of Brampton is revitalizing its community centres and parks to increase access to versatile, multi-use facilities that can be enjoyed year-round by residents. These amenities will be designed for residents of all ages, interests and abilities. To ensure these projects meet the current and future recreation needs of the community, the City will be sharing exciting project updates and seeking input from its residents in its next phase of public consultations.
Brampton's Parks and Recreation Master Plan is a guiding document for the delivery of parks, open space, recreation and sports facilities to promote active and healthy lifestyles. The City is currently undertaking a five-year review of the plan. The update to the PRMP revisits the original recommendations against today's landscape, progress thus far and makes further recommendations to reflect the current needs of residents.
The City of Brampton is committed to inclusive governance, ensuring it actively seeks input from residents to ensure initiatives align with their needs. Feedback from the community is a critical part of the successful development of a renewed PRMP and revitalization projects.
