The Town of Caledon provides accessible and sustainable parks, recreation spaces and cultural services for everyone. This project page will be used to get your input on what you would like to see in your parks. This includes the design of new parks, replacements and upgrades to existing parks (i.e. playground equipment, splash pads, washroom buildings, etc.), and other future park planning projects.

Parks are important for establishing and maintaining the quality of life of Caledon residents, the identity of the community, and fostering healthy lifestyles, environments. Whether you are a casual park user, someone that frequents parks to unwind and play, or is just interested in the future of Caledon parks, we want to hear from you!


Playground Improvements – 2025

Background Info:

We want to hear from you! The Town of Caledon is replacing playground equipment in several parks, per budget approved by Council. Improvements are proposed at the following parks:

  • Adam Wallace Memorial Park (Playground & Splash Pad) - 128 Cedargrove Road (Ward 5)
  • Lions Park – 12 Holmes Drive (Ward 4)
  • Montrose Farm Park – 1 Castelli Court (Ward 6)
  • Newhouse Park - 16 Cliffview Court (Ward 2)
  • R.W. Moffatt Park - 17 Goodfellow Crescent (Ward 6)
  • R.J.A. Potts Park (Playground & Splash Pad) – 125 Pembrooke Street (Ward 5)
  • Whitbread Park – 27 Whitbread Avenue (Ward 5)

We are looking for community participation to provide feedback and insight about each park. Your input will help guide us to plan the right play equipment for your neighbourhood. Some of the considerations that are included through the design process includes budget, maintenance requirements, inclusivity and making the play equipment fun for a wide range of abilities, as well as specific comments from community members.

Neighbourhood park playground equipment is typically installed with engineered wood fibre safety surfacing. Individual play equipment is suitable for ages 2-5 and/or ages 5-12 and is built to meet the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) criteria for safety and accessibility.

Complete the surveys below and share your feedback!


Playground replacements could include:

Replacement of play features may include various climbing structures, swings, slides, and updates to colour schemes and themes of the playground. Other improvements may also be considered such as replacement of existing playground surfacing, new or reconfigured pathway connections and site furniture such as benches and trash receptacles.

Playground replacements do not include:

Playground replacements typically do not include material changes to existing playground surfacing, building new splashpads, and other large amenities or features. These amenities are not a part of neighbourhood park replacement projects at this time (Learn more about why here).

How does the neighbourhood replacement program work?

The Town regularly inspects existing playgrounds and identifies those in need of replacement and then prioritizes based on condition and safety metrics. High priority parks are then approved for replacement through the annual budget process.

For more information, refer to the Budget page on the Town of Caledon's website. Neighbourhood parks are considered in the Capital Budget section for each year.

  • Mayfield West Phase 1 New Park Survey Results

    Share Mayfield West Phase 1 New Park Survey Results on Facebook Share Mayfield West Phase 1 New Park Survey Results on Twitter Share Mayfield West Phase 1 New Park Survey Results on Linkedin Email Mayfield West Phase 1 New Park Survey Results link

    We received input from local residents in the Mayfield West Phase 1 community on what they would most like to see in their new park. We heard from 351 residents in the month of September 2022 from all areas of the community.

    Here is what you told us

    This park is enjoyed by people of all ages. Common interests were shared among seating areas, accessible features: parking/seating, exercise equipment, splash pad, courts and pitches, pickle ball and play structures.

    The type of play at the park was mainly jumping, climbing, swinging, spinning and seesawing. The most popular theme was an adventure park with slides, ropes ladders, zip ropes or climbing features.

    Next Steps

    Detailed park design has been completed with consideration of the closed survey results. The next steps for this park are currently on hold until pre-development of the park block and surrounding areas can support construction.

    The image below is a proposed layout for the park based on community input.

  • Parks Plan

    Share Parks Plan on Facebook Share Parks Plan on Twitter Share Parks Plan on Linkedin Email Parks Plan link

    It's important to plan Caledon’s parks system now so it can grow as Caledon grows. We need to expand our park system to meet the community’s outdoor recreation needs today and into the future. The newly-approved Parks Plan will ensure we have an optimal level of service for parks that is accessible to all residents — this is the amount and type of service that meets community needs/desires and is sustainable, affordable and realistic.

    This Parks Plan does not address trails and open spaces. The Town is currently creating an Active Transportation Master Plan - stay tuned for more information in future.

    The Parks Plan was developed by:

    • Evaluating our existing parks system.
    • Outlining issues and opportunities associated with our parks system.
    • Reviewing existing and anticipated park supply.
    • Assessing current and future parkland needs.
    • Determining park hierarchy; this includes size, type and amenities in the park.
    • Planning for an optimal level of service as our community grows and changes.
    • Developing strategic directions for parkland retention, use of parkland and expansion.

    The new Parks Plan allows us to update our policies and priorities in alignment with Caledon’s Official Plan and to take advantage of legislation, trends and approaches in parks planning and development.

    The Parks Plan was approved by Council on June 28, 2022.

    The Town’s Parkland Dedication (Conveyance) Bylaw has been updated to reflect changes to the Planning Act.

    View the Town of Caledon Parkland Conveyance Bylaw (approved on June 28, 2022).

    The Town owns and maintains 82 parks that encompass 213 hectares (526 acres). These parks are currently classified as:

    • District-Special Purpose Parks
    • Community Parks
    • Neighbourhood Parks
    • Urban Squares/Parkettes

  • Acquiring Parkland

    One way our parks system grows is through development approval process. We use Official Plan policies and the existing Parkland Dedication (Conveyance) Bylaw to acquire land for parks or other public recreational purposes or receive payment in lieu of parkland so parkland can be purchased according to the Planning Act .
