North Maple Regional Park (NMRP)
CONSTRUCTION NOTICE: There will be some trail access restrictions in effect while construction is underway. Different areas of the park may be closed to the public with on-site signage and fencing.

About NMRP
In April 2018, the Vaughan City Council approved the vision to develop North Maple Regional Park (NMRP) into an outstanding destination for sports, recreation, and culture. The park vision will transform open space and former landfill areas into 364 hectares (900 acres) of parkland for residents and visitors to enjoy. The park vision will take many years to implement, and will be designed and constructed in several stages over the coming years.
Get involved in the NMRP Master Plan!
Through the NMRP Master Plan, we are creating a long-term development, programming and management outline that will focus on three key pillars – restore, engage, play – and include activities for restoring nature, building community, and providing spaces for active living and play.
Over 1,000 people participated in past engagement opportunities, including surveys, pop-ups and workshops. The feedback we received has helped inform the direction of the plan so far – and as we continue to move forward, we want to hear from you again!

What's your vision for NMRP?
Help us plan the future NMRP! While some areas and amenities are now open to the public, the City of Vaughan is looking to develop the full 900-acre site – and you can have a say. A long-term development, programming and management plan will be created through this master plan process. The plan will focus on three key pillars – restore, engage, play – and include activities for restoring nature, opportunities to build community, and providing spaces for active living and play.

Answer
The existing construction activities at the park align with Phase 2 of park development, known as the enabling works. Work is approximately 50 per cent complete, and includes site grading, servicing and environmental restoration work on 130 acres of land. This construction will be fully completed by the end of 2024.
Grading and servicing of the City’s first cricket field and event area is complete, which includes lighting and irrigation. Permitting for use of the field will commence in 2025. Restoration of the pond and wetland expansion are currently underway by the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, with final planting and other finishing works nearing completion. An accessible multi-use path and additional nature trails will also be constructed.
The City is also extending the existing park driveway (Vaughan CARES Way) at the main entrance to NMRP to include a second park entrance with access to Keele Street and adding a new traffic signal at the park’s north entrance.
