As identified in the new Parks and Trails Standards Manual, Community and Destination scaled parks should have Development Plans established to assist with 10-year Capital Budget planning. These parks may include active and/or passive uses, typically having intensive recreational uses such as sports fields, sports courts, playgrounds and water play, amenity/support buildings and parking facilities.

The identified Community and Destination Township Parks include:

  • Hanna Park
  • Milford Bay Community Centre Park
  • Jaspen Park
  • Bala Sports Park
  • Torrance Ball Diamond
  • Walker’s Point Community Centre Park

In 2025, staff plan to work with the community on Development Plans for Hanna Park and Milford Bay Community Centre Park as they each have amenities requiring replacement in the near future such as playgrounds, etc. Upon community consultation and finalized concept plans, the 10-year Capital Plan can be updated to reflect the community needs and desires for both properties should there be any changes from the current amenities provided.

In 2026, staff will conduct similar Development Plans exercises with the communities of Bala, Torrance and Walker’s Point for Jaspen Park, Bala Sports Park, Torrance Ball Diamond and Walker’s Point Community Centre Park.
