The County of Brant is preparing for the future of parks, recreation, and outdoor spaces with a Parks Master Plan that will guide how these services and spaces grow and improve over the next 15 years.

The draft Parks Master Plan was developed through a thorough review of existing parks, facilities, and recreation programs. Population growth and future community needs were also carefully considered. Feedback gathered during the newly approved Community Services Strategic Plan and Parks and Recreation engagement in 2023 also helped shape the priorities included in this draft plan.
