Background

The Town of Oakville's parkland system is comprised of community parks, neighbourhood parks, parkettes, trails and open spaces that together form an interconnected network supporting recreation, community gathering, active transportation and access to nature. 

The Ward 1 Southeast Parks System Study will examine part of the Town’s network as a connected "campus of parks," assessing how existing parks, amenities and open spaces collectively serve the community. 

The study will identify service gaps and opportunities for improvement and develop recommendations to enhance connectivity, accessibility, recreational experiences and overall levels of service throughout the study area. 

Location

The study boundary area includes south of the QEW to Lake Ontario, between Bronte Road and Third Line.

Through this survey, we are seeking input from residents and park users about how they currently use the parks in the study area, what they value most, and what changes or additions would help make these spaces more welcoming, accessible and enjoyable. 

Your feedback will help guide recommendations and ensure Oakville’s parks evolve to reflect the needs and priorities of the local community.

The launch of the survey has been delayed. Information will be shared when a new date is confirmed.
