The city of Calgary is in the process of coming up with a 20 year plan on how our parks will be managed and developed.
A new parks plan is now being developed to help deliver accessible and sustainable parks.“During the first phase, there was a real balance. I think people want places where they can go experience nature and in those places, they don’t want amenities but they also want parks where we have lots of fun amenities that kids and seniors and everyone can enjoy,” said Kari Zral with the city of Calgary who was at an open house held at Vivo for healthier generations in northeast Calgary on Saturday.
Some of the themes being discussed are the creation of more parks and green spaces and growing Calgary’s tree canopy as well as the addition of amenities and infrastructure.Canadians want urgent climate action, but most not willing to pay more tax: poll“The pandemic really showed us that people need to get outside for their own mental health and access to those parks is really important,” said Andrew Yule, president of the Nose Creek Preservation Society.
Last fall, Calgary City Council approved an application to rezone a series of properties along Nose Creek, despite advocacy from community members to protect the natural land in the area.
