The Parks and Recreation Master Plan for the Township of Rideau Lakes kicked off in September 2023 outlining a strategic approach to enhancing recreational opportunities for residents and visitors.

The process involved detailed facility assessments and extensive public consultations that engaged residents, key stakeholders and small focus groups through surveys and one-on-one meetings to gather input and ensure community needs are addressed. The Background Report was then created and presented to Council in February 2024. The plan aims to improve quality of life, promote health and wellness, and foster community engagement through well-planned, sustainable recreation facilities and programs.
