Special General Government Committee Meeting for Parks, Recreation and Culture: September 16

Clarington residents are invited to tune in to a special General Government Committee meeting on Monday, September 16 at 3 p.m. for an update on several special community projects, including:

Parks, Recreation and Culture Master Plan

With input from 3,000+ people including residents, community organizations, staff and council, and backed by extensive data, trends and analysis, a draft of Clarington’s Parks, Recreation and Culture Master Plan (PRCMP) is ready to share with the public.

From new recreation opportunities, connected trail systems, splash pads, bookmobiles and more parks – the PRCMP outlines the strengths and opportunities in Clarington’s current parkland, programs and services, and what’s needed to grow with the community into 2036.

South Bowmanville Recreation Centre

Council will receive an update about design plans for the South Bowmanville Recreation Centre.

Bowmanville Community Park (former Zoo Lands)

Clarington has taken community feedback into consideration and is ready to present an updated concept for the Community Park on the former lands of the Bowmanville Zoo, in collaboration with Valleys 2000.

The vision includes a bold, inspiring signature park for the community that is tied to the natural and cultural history of the property, by honouring the legacy of Soper Creek and the former zoo and integrating the lands into the broader trail system.
