    Hello,

    Thank you for sharing your question. We understand how important it is for residents to have access to parks close to home.

    Regional parks are a valued resource enjoyed and accessed by residents across the entire region. They provide opportunities for recreation, support conservation efforts, and contribute to the overall quality of life in our communities.

    The purpose of the regional parks system is to meet the needs of the region’s residents now and in the future, respond to expected population growth, protect, connect, and restore the region’s significant natural areas, and provide areas for residents to connect with nature.

    The acquisition of regional parkland is guided by the Regional Parks Land Acquisition Strategy. This strategy outlines the guiding principles and criteria used to evaluate parcels of land for inclusion in the regional parks system.

    Establishing large, interconnected natural areas is the overarching goal for the strategy.

    In some municipalities, there are very few large, undeveloped parcels that meet the criteria for regional park acquisition. However, we’re committed to improving the accessibility of our parks for all residents. A key aim of the updated Land Acquisition Strategy is to locate new parks—and better connect existing parks—along active transportation routes, near transit stops, and in places that make them easier to visit without relying solely on private vehicles.

    If you’re interested in the Land Acquisition Strategy, it is currently being updated, and additional information, including an engagement timeline, will be shared on a dedicated project webpage that will launch later this year or in early 2027.
