Future Parks, Trails and Open Spaces

Sturgeon County is working to improve our regional parks, open spaces, and trail network. 

This initiative is not just about improving our parks—it’s about creating spaces that reflect the values and needs of our community and will enhance the quality of life for all County residents.  

Why are we doing this?

This project aims to develop a plan to guide the future development of a parks network that will meet the diverse needs of our community. The goal is to provide spaces and places for residents to enjoy, whether they’re looking for a quiet place to read, a playground for their children, or trails for hiking and cycling.  

To generate this plan, we are working through different phases of research, community engagement, and idea generation.

What are we doing?

To better understand what amenities community members want, the County is undertaking different phases of research, community engagement, and idea generation. Residents and visitors are being asked to share their thoughts about the local park spaces and what activities they want to do in them.

Tell us what you think

Help shape the future of parks, trails, and open spaces in Sturgeon County! 

This helps tell us what you want to see added to parks in the County! Understanding the ideas and visions of residents and visitors helps us craft new plans that include the community’s voices.
What should we celebrate, or do more of? Telling us about what you already love to use and do in parks and open spaces across the County lets us know what to keep, what to enhance, and what to do more of!
Understanding where you are coming from helps us to understand who is using the spaces and where parks may need to be added to fill in servicing gaps.
How would you like to use parks and open spaces in the future? Understanding what you like to do in parks spaces helps us understand the types of spaces and the features and amenities to include in park design to make it enjoyable and usable for residents and visitors. It also gives us insight on the types of programming and activities we could explore adding in the future.
We want to understand what things you do not like to see in parks. There are lots of ways to use public space, but you might not be ok with it. Understanding what the community thinks is not appropriate helps us narrow down regulations and programming options.
