New Westminster Parks and Recreation Plan Update

The City of New Westminster is updating its Parks and Recreation Plan to guide the future of parks, facilities, services, and programs for the next 25 years, with a 10-year action plan to 2035. This plan will ensure that New Westminster’s parks and recreation spaces continue to support a growing and diverse community. Your input is essential to refining the recommendations.

Background

The previous overarching plan for parks and recreation across New Westminster was adopted in 2008. Called the Parks and Recreation Comprehensive Plan, it has successfully shaped the delivery of parks and recreation services over the last 15+ years. New Westminster is now in need of an update to the 2008 Parks and Recreation Comprehensive Plan. The new Parks and Recreation Plan will help the City improve parks and recreation facilities, programs, and services across New Westminster over the next 10 years, while also describing a future vision for parks and recreation to 2050.
