Share your thoughts about Toronto's parks

The City of Toronto's Parks, Forestry & Recreation Division is developing a 5-year plan for the City's parks. The Parks Plan will guide decision-making and investment in City parks in order to meet the diverse needs of Toronto residents, including:

designing beautiful, unique, and sustainable park spaces
protecting and expanding natural areas
balancing park uses to include play spaces, natural areas, sports activities, urban agriculture and cultural expression

engaging the community through stewardship, volunteering, and partnerships

ensuring the City's parks and trails are available and accessible to all residents
