Parks and Open Spaces Master Plan

After a lengthy consultation process, the City of St. John's has released its Parks and Open Spaces Master Plan.

Parks and greenspaces can transform a city into a collection of lifestyle-based neighbourhoods.

This master plan describes a resident-based vision for a Parks and Open Space network within the City of St. John’s. This document proposes a refined network as well as design and maintenance guidelines, implementation strategies, and steps for the infill and expansion of the network for future generations.
 
St. John’s residents, from the ages of eight to eighty, were consulted during the master plan creation process. We would like to thank residents for their participation in the many focus groups, small group meetings and community workshops that resulted in the refined network. We would also like to acknowledge the invaluable leadership of participating City of St. John’s staff and Council members throughout the master planning process. This participation included council members, senior management staff and department heads at the many internal and public sessions, as well as the many operational staff who developed maintenance plans for a refined network.
