We regularly conduct park, trail and open space plans and studies before proceeding to construction on projects. With many opportunities for the public to submit feedback, our plans and studies help guide our planning and priorities for these valuable community spaces. Watch our news and notices, and Connect Whitby engagement platform for opportunities to engage with our park, trail and open space projects.

Master Plans and Strategies

We have developed various master plans and strategies to achieve positive community benefit for our parks, fields, facilities and open spaces.

Parks and Recreation Master Plan 

The Parks and Recreation Master Plan provides an update to the current Culture, Parks, Recreation Open Space Plan.  The Plan will focus primarily on parks, open space, recreation programming, services, facilities, including the Marina and harbour. 

Culture Plan

Our Culture Plan provides strategic direction for the Town to deliver and foster arts and culture programs, services and facilities in the community, and guides the management of changing demographics and the cultural composition of our community.

Waterfront Parks and Open Space Master Plan

Our Waterfront Parks and Open Space Master Plan provides a comprehensive strategy to enhance the town waterfront's natural, heritage, cultural and recreational features. 

Current Park Projects

The Current Park Projects webpage is a space for the community to help us design our parks, playgrounds, and trails that we’re building or upgrading.
