King Township Parks & Facilities Master Plan Update and Trails Master Plan Update

Thank you to everyone who shared your ideas and help shape the future of recreation in King Township! We’re excited to announce that the Draft Parks Master Plan, Draft Facilities Master Plan and Draft Trails Master Plan are now ready for you to explore!

These draft plans are built on months of community input, research, and collaboration with residents, stakeholders, and experts. They set out clear directions and practical steps to guide how we plan, improve and deliver our parks, trails, and recreation facilities – helping us create spaces that bring people together, support healthy living, and strengthen our sense of community.

Your voice continues to matter. Let’s continue the conversation and work together to build a more vibrant, active, and connected King Township.

Thank you to the almost 300 people who came out to the April 15 Public Information Centre at the Zancor Centre. If you weren't able to attend, you can review the engagement panels that were on display by clicking this link.

King Township residents have another opportunity to provide input that will shape future improvements to parks, trails and facilities, and help create the vision for a multi-modal transportation system. A Public Open House will be held on Tuesday, Apr. 15 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Zancor Centre, located at 1600 15th Sideroad in King City, regarding the updated Facilities, Parks and Trail Master Plans as well as the newly updated Transportation Master Plan. The community is invited to review the key directions and options for recommendations developed to date, provide feedback and ask questions to Township staff and members of the consulting teams on these projects.

The updated Parks & Facilities Master Plan Update and Trails Master Plan must reflect the needs and priorities of its residents and will be developed through extensive community engagement. Over the course of the project the consulting team will engage a range of sector stakeholders (community groups, public, private, not-for-profit), as well as the public in identifying current needs, issues, and priorities as it relates to developing recreational facilities, parks and trails in the Township.

The project will employ a range of approaches to gather public input including a series of public engagement sessions. Keep checking this webpage to follow the progress of the project and see how you can participate in the Recreation, Parks and Culture Master Plan Update and provide your input on the Master Plans.

Community engagement provides opportunities to make your opinion known. There will be several opportunities for involvement over the course of the Plans. Upcoming engagement activities include:
