Parks Master Plan
The purpose of the Town of Creston Parks Master Plan (TCPMP) is to identify the strategic priorities that define the future direction, philosophy, policies, and actions for the provision of municipal parks.
The TCPMP will include a detailed asset inventory, needs analysis, recommendations for future amenities and land acquisition, maintenance recommendations, prioritization and costing of key projects, trend identification, accessibility recommendations, reconciliation opportunities, and consideration of climate change.
The TCPMP is guided by several Town documents such as the Official Community Plan (OCP), Integrated Community Sustainability Plan (ICSP), Trails Master Plan, and other town initiatives.
