The City of Fredericton has approved a new Recreation and Leisure Master Plan! The Plan will assist the City in guiding and managing the direction of recreation and leisure services, program, events, facilities, parks, open spaces, and other recreation amenities. The Plan will provide clear direction to City Council and staff regarding the use, development, redevelopment, enhancement, and/or delivery of recreation facilities, programs, and services.
This new Recreation and Leisure Master Plan will builds on one approved by City Council in 2009 by continuing to guide investment decisions, set priorities and maintain best practices in the delivery of recreation services and the operation of the City’s diverse recreation assets.
The City commissioned Sierra Planning and Management - a multi-disciplinary planning firm, in association with CBCL Limited and Novita Interpares, to develop the Master Plan to ensure recreation and leisure services are fully aligned with all community needs as the City grows and opportunities broaden. The Plan balances needs, opportunities, and fiscal capacity to deliver a consensus driven vision for the next 15 years.
