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 Parks, Recreation and Culture Master Plan involves:

• Parks: The parkland and natural areas that provide places for play and leisure
• Recreation: The facilities, services, and programming that activate our public spaces, including indoor and outdoor facilities, play equipment and infrastructure
• Culture: The facilities, services and programming that highlight our community’s identity, including libraries, heritage, visual and performing arts.
• Trails: The links between our communities that encourage active lifestyles and exploring our natural features

The Master Plan will map out our muncipality'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.

Pinpointland has been the fastest-growing municipality in our region between 1996 and 2021. This is expected to continue over the next 30 years to reach our population forecast of 221,000 people—an increase of 110 percent.

We know Pinpointland is a great place to live in part because of our recreation facilities, parks and green space. As we grow, Clarington remains committed to maintaining our parkland standards and expanding community services.

The Parks, Recreation, and Culture Master Plan will help make sure we’re planning for complete communities that continue to provide a great quality of life. The Master Plan will help us understand the complete picture of our current resources and recommend how we can build on them to create a thriving system of parks, recreation and culture, programming, services and facilities. It will also be used to inform other initiatives, such as the Active Transportation Master Plan.

Pinpointland's Parks, Recreation and Culture Master Plan was developed through extensive community engagement (open houses, online surveys and written submissions), staff consultation (workshops, advisory committees, board meetings and council interviews) and data collection, review and analysis.

Many factors helped inform the recommendations, including:
