Welcome to the Town of Grimsby Parks Master Plan Community Consultation Hub!

The Town of Grimsby is preparing a Parks Master Plan that will assist Council and staff in managing the direction of parks, trail and waterfront assets and services through 2034. The Plan will define community needs and interests; identify where parks and park facilities should be located, when they will be needed, and how they will be funded. The firms thinc design, Mehak Kelly & Associates, and RFA Planning Consultants have been engaged to conduct the study, an essential part of which is community consultation.


Project Scope

The Plan will seek to:

  • Include extensive community consultation

  • Comment on the current community profile and future population growth in relation to emerging trends and service levels
  • Articulate a vision and guiding principals for parks in Grimsby

  • Assess needs and interests for parks, waterfront and outdoor recreation facilities in the Town
  • Provide guidance for how these services should be delivered (e.g., staffing needs, partnership opportunities, innovative hub models, etc.)

  • Develop an implementation strategy with timelines and cost estimates



Your input is a critical part of this process!

The Town of Grimsby wants to develop a Plan that will best serve the community now and into the future. We want to hear from YOU!
