RDN Parks & Trails Strategy

ABOUT THE PARKS & TRAILS STRATEGY

The 2022-2032 Parks and Trails Strategy builds on the successes of previous park plans and will guide the development and management of RDN regional and community parks and trails for the next 10-20 years.

The Plan presents the current portfolio of regional and community parks and trails (see Existing RDN Parks and Trails map), identifies trends and challenges that influence parks and trails, and summarizes the desires and aspirations for the parks system that were voiced during the project's public engagement process.

From here, it puts forward a vision and a series of goals and actions that will guide the future direction of both regional and community parks services.

WHERE ARE WE NOW?

Thank you to everyone that participated in the first round of public engagement in 2019/2020, before the COVID-19 pandemic.

The public and stakeholder input that was provided was used to understand what people think of existing parks and trails and to draft a vision for the future. The draft vision, along with seven goals and supporting actions form the basis of the Parks and Trails Strategy, and will guide RDN parks and trails over the next 10-20 years.

We are now in Phase 3 of the project, and we want to hear from you again!
