PARK PLANNING

Get the most out of your urban park and conservation areas

Creating a park or recreation area is not a simple task, but having a good plan in place can make all the difference!

By having a vision, creating a long term plan, and incorporating best practices, a good masterplan can guide you as you make your initial investment and changes during the lifetime of the area and community.

Throughout this section of the guide, you will find useful tips, examples, recommendations, and items to consider from ASUPCA members, provincial organizations specializing in conservation, sports and leisure, and community organizations who can lend you their years of experience!

The guide tries to incorporate strategies that can work for any size project, budget, organizing association. These guidelines can form the basis for your own strategic planning.
