Recreation, Parks and Culture Master PlanOn April 28, 2008, Ajax Council approved a new Recreation, Parks and Culture Master Plan for the development of new facilities, programs and services for the next 15 years.
The plan identifies 10 goal statements, 40 objectives and 102 recommended action steps that have been phased over the life of the plan. It will be reviewed every five years for currency of priorities and recommendations.
Key findings include the provision of new facilities, enhancing programming for youth, providing safe, accessible, lower cost and inclusive opportunities, and a greater demand for less structured and drop-in programs. It also recommends enhancing arts and cultural opportunities, hosting additional community festivals and events, addressing the need for older adult programming, and the need for more parkland, open spaces and trails.
