Overview

The Town of Aylmer has a new Parks and Recreation Master Plan to guide how we improve parks, trails, programs, and recreation spaces over the next 10 years. Council approved the plan in September 2023, and we’re now starting to put the first steps into action.

What's Changing

We’re focusing first on short-term goals over the next 1 to 3 years, including better online booking for activities, improving park access, and listening to what residents want from their recreation spaces. Staff will be working in phases to get this done in 2024, 2025–2026, and on an ongoing basis.

Why It Matters

Recreation is about more than fun—it helps people stay healthy, connect with their neighbours, and enjoy the outdoors. By investing in trails, playgrounds, and programs for all ages, we can make Aylmer an even better place to live.

How You Can Participate

We’re always looking to hear from residents, whether you use our parks often or just once in a while. Your input helps shape programs and services. There will be chances to join in on surveys, public meetings, and help shape future plans.

What Will Be Done With the Feedback

Your feedback will guide Town staff as they decide what to work on first and how to improve services. We’re also looking at hiring new staff and working with volunteers to deliver more programs, and your ideas will help us make smart choices that reflect the community’s needs.
