Live and Play Plan
The City of Burlington is preparing a Live and Play Plan to guide recreational and cultural facility decisions over the next 20 to 30 years. Through research and public consultation, the Live and Play Plan will ensure that Burlington continues to provide a range of healthy and active choices that engage all residents and ensures that the city grows as an environmentally sustainable, vibrant and economically strong community.
Resident input will help us better understand the parks, recreation and cultural facility priorities of the Burlington community.
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.
