New Parks Master Plan adopted for Lethbridge
The City of Lethbridge has decided on its direction for the planning and care of its parks for the next 15 to 20 years.
City Council voted on Tuesday to adopt the 2024 Parks Master Plan.
Parks Planning Manager Andrew Sommerville says that as communities grow, so does their need for parks. He explains that the plan includes vibrant and accessible parks for all ages and abilities, connecting residents with nature.
“We’re focusing on things like accessibility, park design and services,” says Sommerville. “And you’ll definitely see more naturalization in our parks. This will lower long-term maintenance costs and create landscapes that better withstand climate change.”
