A Draft Parks and Facilities Master Plan Has Been Completed!

The City of Kimberley has developed a draft Parks and Facilities Master Plan. The Master Plan will guide how the City provides and invests in parks and recreation services (facilities, programs, and events) over the next 10 years.

The Master Plan was developed to ensure that future decision-making is informed and best aligned with community needs. More specifically, the Master Plan process enabled the City to:

  • Analyze the current state of parks and recreation.
  • Identify trends (emerging interests, changes in activity preferences, etc.).
  • Establish focus areas for capital facility investment and programming.
  • Identify opportunities to optimize service delivery.

Tell Us What You Think – Come to the Open House!

The City and project team need your feedback on the draft Master Plan. Your feedback will help us refine the Master Plan before it goes to Council for final acceptance.

Two open house events will take place on April 16th at Centennial Hall. One event will be held in the early afternoon and the other will take place as part of the (Re)Discover Kimberley Community Group Showcase. Staff and project team members will be on hand to answer questions and discuss the Master Plan content. No RSVP or prior knowledge required to participate. The event details are as follows.

The City of Kimberley is developing a Parks and Facilities Master Plan. The Master Plan will guide how the City provides and invests in parks and recreation services (facilities, programs, and events) over the next 10 years. More specifically the Master Plan will:

  • Inform decision making on future investment and development;
  • Identify opportunities to optimize programming and overall service delivery that reflect best practices;
  • Identify a philosophical foundation for parks and recreation services; and
  • Establish an operational/management framework for the ongoing management of the City’s parks, trails, facilities, and recreation assets.

The Master Plan will be developed based on sound research including, a comprehensive program of engagement that explores the current state of parks and recreation in the community, opportunities, gaps, and future needs.
