Projects funded through the 2026 budget focus on enhancing recreational opportunities and improving our community’s outdoor spaces. Several park improvements are being shaped by resident input gathered through community surveys and feedback shared during the 2025 Park & Connect events.
The Public Services Department plays an essential role in maintaining and upgrading our parks, ensuring they remain vibrant, safe, and welcoming. Stay connected as we bring these community-driven projects to life!
