Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update

The Township of Springwater is updating the existing Parks and Recreation Master Plan (2016) to guide the future planning of recreational facilities and services. As the municipality continues to grow, the Plan will assist the Township in guiding and managing the direction of parks, open spaces, programs, events, facilities, and amenities in a cost effective and sustainable manner.

Springwater has awarded Sierra Planning and Management the contract to update Springwater's Parks and Recreation Master Plan.
