The Parks, Open Space and Leisure Master Plan, completed in 2004, provided a guideline for the development of parks, open space and leisure facilities for the City of Greater Sudbury. Input from public consultations and community groups helped to shape the direction of the Master Plan and identify priorities for our community. Many of the recommendations within the 2004 Master Plan have been addressed and now the City would like to review the plan and update the information so that it can best address the present needs of the community.
