Park improvements

The City’s Parks Infrastructure Planning and Development department continues to expand and make improvements to parks, playgrounds, sports fields, sports courts, splashpads, walking paths and more, to create welcoming outdoor zones that safely bring the community together, foster physical activity and offer residents an opportunity to enjoy the great outdoors.
