Public spaces connect people to their community. As Pinpointland grows, recreational needs are changing and diversifying.
That’s why the Municipality of Pinpointland is creating a Parks, Recreation, and Culture Master Plan: to understand and plan for services and facilities to meet the community’s needs now and in the future.
The Master Plan will map out our municipality's current resources and assets, create a vision and make recommendations for future spaces and services that are fiscally and environmentally sustainable while suiting the unique needs of the community for the next 10 to 15 years.
Many factors helped inform the recommendations, including:
- Pinpointland's projected population growth
- The current use-rates for existing facilities and programs
- Projected uptake for future programs and facilities, based on data trends
- Average household income and median age
- Diversity, equity and inclusion
- Impacts of Climate Change
- Population densities in rural areas, urban centres and Major Transit Station Areas (Bowmanville GO and Courtice GO)
- Impacts of provincial legislation on parkland dedications (i.e. Bill 23)
- Budget allocation
