Plans & Strategies



Access to community parks, community facilities and recreational facilities is important for fostering healthy lifestyles, encouraging social interaction, and enhancing the livability of the city.

The City of New Westminster’s park system includes a wide array of park spaces, natural areas, and opportunities for active and passive recreation. The City strives to provide a diverse range of programming to meet the needs of all community members.

The Parks and Recreation Comprehensive Plan (2008) provides the policy framework and capital investment strategy to support the City’s ongoing delivery of services, to meet current needs, and to plan for future needs of our growing community.
