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.

 

Come and visit Vaughan's biggest park and enjoy:

  • two FIFA-certified artificial turf soccer fields with built-in spectator seating
  • a park pavilion, including a terrace, washrooms, changerooms and drinking fountains
  • picnic areas with shade shelters and seating
  • a toboggan hill
  • an asphalt parking area with room for 200 vehicles
  • variety of walking and hiking trails
  • free wifi (park pavilion and soccer fields)
  • a cricket field
  • and so much more!

 

Work continues to progress at North Maple Regional Park! Check out the video below to see how far we’ve come. 

 


NMRP Master Plan

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. Opportunities to have a say will continue throughout the year - check back often!
