Parks and Recreation Master Plan
In March 2022, the Township of Cavan Monaghan embarked on a process to update the 2011 Parks and Recreation Master Plan. In addition to a comprehensive review of and recommendations for delivery of services, culture and recreation facilities, and parks and open space, the planning process will identify and review options for the future of the Millbrook Arena and property, as well as the remaining lands at the new Cavan Monaghan Community Centre.
Vision 2035 will be completed in two phases.
Phase One is comprised of background research, initial community engagement, demand assessment, trends, analysis, and findings and conclusions to support the recommendations that will be prepared in Phase Two. A Background Report has been prepared and will continue to be edited throughout Phase Two as new information becomes available and is analyzed.
A Community Forum is being held Wednesday May 10, 2023 to provide an overview of Vision 2035 and to seek input from the community on recreation facilities and parks.
