Master Plan and Maps
|
| March 2004 was the first major updating of the entire Parks and Recreation Master Plan. The purpose of this plan is to identify a vision, goals and objectives for parks and recreation, and to provide recommendations for parkland acquisition, indoor and outdoor recreation facilities, trails, beaches, culture, recreation programs, human resources, and financing related to delivery of parks and recreation services within the next ten years. Although the plan focuses primarily on the 10 year horizon, population growth over the next 20 year period is considered in order to guide decision-making

Vision:
Greater Vernon is a vibrant community where health and well-being are valued. Some of the essential elements of quality of life in the Vernon area are healthy lifestyles, a wide range of opportunities for recreation and culture, and respect for the unique environment. The parks and recreation system plays a vital role in achieving those values.
Large parks and major recreation facilities form the core of the parks and recreation system. Connecting these are pedestrian and cycle corridors; the Ribbons of Green that tie the community together. Parks and recreation facilities are accessible to a full range of the population. Partnerships with the private sector and community groups support the delivery of sport, fitness, recreation, cultural and parks services.
The parks and open spaces in Greater Vernon encompass and protect many of the natural and environmental habitats and features are protected as is the visually stunning scenery.
The parks and recreation system is operated in an economically responsible manner. Goals include affordability for users and taxpayers, and support from user groups.
