City-Wide Sports Facilities Needs Assessment

The City of Vaughan is working on the City-wide Sports Facilities Needs Assessment Study to help inform the planning of parks and outdoor sports facilities like baseball diamonds, soccer fields, basketball courts and tennis courts. The needs assessment will review the City’s current inventory of sports fields and courts, identify opportunities to better utilize existing facilities and recommend locations for new or upgraded facilities.

The City ran a survey from Nov. 24 to Dec 12, 2021 to hear from residents and provide input on the need for additional sports facilities and improvements to existing facilities throughout Vaughan. The online survey is now closed. Thank you to all those who participated. 

City staff will use the information received from the survey to explore opportunities to better utilize existing facilities and identify locations for new or upgraded facilities in line with the 2018 Active Together Master Plan (ATMP). The ATMP, originally prepared in 2008 and updated every five years by the City of Vaughan, provides guidance on the planning, distribution and decision-making for new parks and recreational facilities including service levels. To ensure the long term growth needs of the public are met, this needs assessment will help ensure facility provision standards outlined in the ATMP recommendations remain relevant and support City-building priorities.
