Parks, Recreation and Library Master Plan

The master plan ensures that community parks, recreation, culture and library facilities continue to meet the needs of Oakville residents.

New plan underway

The Town of Oakville is looking to better understand how the community uses parks, recreation and culture facilities and libraries and is developing a Parks, Recreation and Library Facilities Master Plan that will guide the current and future direction of these spaces.

The town is engaging the community and gathering:

  • Demographic data and growth forecasts
  • Participation and usage levels and trends
  • Best practices to help shape the master plan

We recognize these community parks, recreation and culture facilities and libraries will need to continuously evolve over the next 30 years so they can continue to provide quality services that Oakville residents value.

The town has hired Monteith Brown Planning Consultants, MJMA Architecture & Design, Tucker-Reid & Associates, Ron Koudys Landscape Architects, Rose Vespa Consulting and Largo Facility Management Consultants to prepare the plan. Monteith Brown will be working closely with the town to coordinate a variety of community outreach activities.


What's next?

The Town of Oakville is currently putting the final touches on a draft of the Parks, Recreation and Library Master Plan. The draft plan will be shared with the public later this spring! Please check back for updates on engagement opportunities!
