Community Services Master Plan
More
What is a Community Services Master Plan?
A Community Services Master Plan, more commonly known as a Parks and Recreation Master Plan, is a strategic document that studies the existing park system, facilities and recreation programming, and identifies a planning blueprint to improve, protect and expand the Town's network of parks, facilities and recreational services for the future.
The Master Plan will provide both a long-term vision for the Town's park system, and specific policies and standards to direct day-to-day decisions. It will create a framework that will allow the Town to respond to new opportunities as they arise, and ensure that adequate parks, trails, facilities, and programs meet the needs of the Town's existing and future residents and visitors.
Project Timeline
The Master Plan process will be prepared through a Three-Phase Work Program. The project is currently in Phase 3 - Master Plan, Implementation and Monitoring.
Project Engagement
Between January 9, 2023, and January 30, 2023, the Town of Essex conducted a series of general public and stakeholder surveys to obtain community feedback on the existing parks and recreation system with the Town. View the Public Consultation Feedback Report.
