April 25, 2024 — City of Burlington

The draft recommendations for the Live and Play Plan are now ready for the community to review. Residents are asked to review the recommendations and provide feedback to let us know what you think.

The Live and Play Plan will guide recreational and cultural facility decisions over the next 20 to 30 years. The Live and Play Plan will ensure Burlington continues to provide a range of healthy and active choices that engage all residents. It also ensures the city grows as an environmentally sustainable, vibrant and economically strong community. There has been research and public consultation completed to develop this draft plan.

We’re in an exciting time of change and growth for the City of Burlington and the Live and Play Plan is going to help us create a foundation for recreation opportunities in our community for years to come. Our facilities act as important hubs for our families, friends and neighbours, and we’re looking forward to sharing the draft plan recommendations with everyone so we can work towards something that aims to meet the needs of current and future residents of Burlington.

Residents and community partners are asked to review the draft plan’s recommendations and provide input online. The draft recommendations can be found at getinvolvedburlington.ca/liveplayplan.

To create the draft recommendations, residents and community partners have been asked for feedback through an online survey, public meeting, and at Food for Feedback and the Appleby Line Street Festival.

The Live and Play Plan will replace the current Parks, Recreation and Cultural Assets Master Plan (PRCAMP) for recreational and cultural space needs. The current plan was approved in 2009. 

Public input will be used to assist in finalizing the recommendations of the plan. Once complete, the plan will be brought to Council for endorsement in June 2024. Over the summer, staff will work on an implementation plan which will be brought to Council in the fall 2024.
