Parks and Recreation Strategy

Our Parks and Recreation Draft Strategy is now available for public review!

In 2023, the Town launched the Parks and Recreation Strategy project which included a survey that received almost 700 responses, a series of six community open houses and a phone survey to gather feedback from residents on what their ideas were for the future of parks and recreation in the Town of Caledon.

The draft strategy has established a vision, mission and guiding principles for the future of parks and recreation, covering Recreation Service Delivery; Programs and Services; Events and Culture; Indoor Facilities; and Outdoor Facilities.

Review the Parks and Recreation Draft Strategy

Residents can review the draft strategy and take our quick poll to let the Town know if we got it right.

The final version of the strategy is expected to be presented to Council on June 25 for approval.

Welcome to the Caledon Parks and Recreation planning for the future project!

The Town of Caledon is developing a strategy that will best serve the community now and into the future and we want to hear from YOU!

The Parks and Recreation Strategy will guide our services over the next 10 years and beyond.

Please use one of the consultation tools on this page to share your ideas, provide feedback and ask questions.

Plan Process

The first stage in the process is information gathering, through research and community consultation.

The second stage will involve coordinating all the information in a visioning report that will set the direction for the plan – with more opportunities for public input.

The final stage will involve developing the draft Parks and Recreation Strategy, and collecting further feedback from the community, Council and staff before finalization.

Imagine, Plan, Play: Share your ideas for the future of parks and recreation at upcoming Open Houses!

We will be coming to a facility near you to engage and collect feedback on Caledon parks, recreation, facilities, events and support services.

What is this project about? The Parks and Recreation Plan will act as a road map for the Town in providing parks, recreation, facilities, events and support services for the next 10-years and beyond.

What can I expect at the open house? The Plan’s motto is Imagine, Plan, Play. The open house is the time to imagine: How do you currently play? What would you like to see in the future? How can the Town support play for all residents in every community? The open house is an informal meeting where Town staff and project consultants will be present to answer questions, and foster discussion. There will be informative graphic panels, and different ways to contribute your ideas (e.g., sticky notes, drawings, questionnaires, discussion etc.).

There will be six open houses, one in each ward:

• Ward 1 – March 20 at Caledon Village Place – 5-8 p.m. (Directions(External link))
• Ward 2 – March 22 at Southfields Community Centre – 5-8 p.m. (Directions(External link))
• Ward 3 – March 25 at Caledon East Community Complex – 10 a.m. – 1 p.m. (Directions(External link))

• Ward 5 – March 27 at Albion Bolton Community Centre – 5-8 p.m. (Directions(External link))
• Ward 6 – March 29 at Caledon Centre for Recreation and Wellness – 5-8 p.m. (Directions(External link))

A phone survey will also be used to gather feedback. If you receive a call, please participate and share your thoughts through the survey.

Parks and recreation play an important role in community building, engaging residents physically and socially, and improving quality of life. How do you want the next 10 years to look?
